Need input on best way to prepare food plots for fall planting with no till drill.
Haven't been down for a while but expect food plots now likely 2-3 feet deep in whatever has grown up since spring. Want to improve bio mass and soil so do not want to cut and herbicide fields. Have access to roller/crimper.
Options would appear to be:
1. Bush hog next couple of weeks, let things continue to grow and roller/crimp before planting
2. Bush hog next few weeks and plant into existing growth without roller/crimp
3. Do not bush hog, roller/crimp just before planting and plant into remaining material
4. Bush hog just before planting and plant into remaining material
Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have
