Winter Bulbs is a great diverse food plot offering, inspired by the proven success of our late season brassica bulbs. The brassica bulbs powered by the 'green top' bulb (the highest preferred bulb we've tested) making this a plot attractive early, but a strong late season food source as well. Not all brassicas make bulbs, but this blend guarantees plenty of bulbs!
BioLogic's Winter Bulbs is best planted by spreading the seed on a well-prepared seedbed at nine (9) pounds per acre, then using a cultipacker to cover. Broadcasting the seed just prior to a rain also produces an excellent stand — the rain serves to bury the seed the appropriate depth (1/4 inch) and ensures adequate soil moisture for germination. Disking is not a recommended method of covering the seed — this would bury the seed too deep.
Winter Bulbs are very hardy and will germinate in drier conditions than other common fall food plot crops. However, some soil moisture is necessary, and is more critical than soil temperature. Ideally, plant Winter Bulbs at least 30 days before the first frost date, in any of the planting zones.
