[QUOTE="Deer Slayer, post: 1268036, member: 8855"] Let's fast forward a year. The perrenials such as clover are established but there is ALOT of grass growing in the plot. The grass is soooooooo bad that it could choke out the clover. Will I have to replant the plot or what?? NOPE, this is when a selective herbicide needs to be used to kill just the grass. IMHO invasive grasses are the biggest problem in food plots. You call Estes Chemical Co in OKC at 405/232-2493 and ask for L.D. Kirkland. He has been very helpful to me. Estes Chemical has a location in Enid, Okla City, Tulsa and Paris Texas. You can also buy some of the chemicals needed in Antlers at the propane dealer on the westside of town. Buy a gallon CHLOTHEDIM. I just bought 1 gallon for $105.00 plus a 2.5 gallon gallon jug crop oil for $25.00. This sounds expensive but it is really cheap. You use 8 ounces/acre plus 1.5 pints of crop oil mixed with however much water your spray rig calibrates to cover 1 acre. My rig calibrates to 25 gallons of water. So it costs $8.13 to kill the grass on a 1 acre food plot, that is cheap. You can spray your plot twice a year and pretty well keep the grass out. If you do that for 2 years I think you should pretty well be grass free. It is more expensive to spray the plot with GLYPHOSATE a/k/a ROUNDUP.
