6 PS
Before planting you MUST follow the Rack Stacker 6 Ps to plotting. Proper, Preparation, and Patience, Prevents, Poor, Plotting.
If you follow these instructions (also on the back of the bag) and don’t cut any corners, it will grow for you and produce great results throughout the summer, into fall and for late season hunting so you can harvest that buck of a lifetime and get the fawns into the winter in good health.
PLANTING TIMES
Spring - Mid April thru May. (If you are receiving good rainfall for your area, you may plant into June) Fall - August thru Mid September. Spring planting will allow the Brassicas to produce as much tonnage of food as possible. Fall planting will attract and hold deer on your property through the Canadian winter months.
PREPARATION
You really want to make the best seed to soil contact as possible when planting Superb-uck. Spraying the plot with a herbicide is best, you don’t want weeds competing for moisture and nutrients on the field with Superb-uck. After spraying, using a set of disks, plows or cultivators work the ground. As long as you have something that can scar the ground enough to allow the seed to have good seed to soil contact then you will be successful with Rack Stacker Superb-uck. Before seeding down your plot you want to drag the soils as level as possible. The smoother the soils the better to prevent channeling during the rain and keep the birds from eating your seeds. You don’t want to plow the seeds under. You only want to make the seed hit the ground, and then pack it to the ground with a roller or a culti-packer. Its important to do this step!! Its like insurance for your plot. By pushing out all the air pockets you’re insuring a quick germination and fast growth as soon as the seed hits the ground.
TIME NEEDED
If you spray 2 weeks prior to working the land, we can have it in the ground, (disking, dragging, seeding and packing) in 4 hours for a half acre by taking these steps, that’s a lot of food available for your herd throughout the year. Remember that the following spring, you will need to overseed the area with Amplified. This will make it a 100% perennial food plot.
SEEDING RATE/ COVERAGE
We offer the Superb-uck food plot for Canada in 5lb, 20lb bag, and 50lb bags. Using a hand broadcast spreader 5lbs will plant ½ acre. 10lbs per acre is recommended.
CALCULATING SQUARE FOOTAGE
Measure the location of your plot. Length multiplied by Width divided by 43,560 that will give you the size of your plot (Ex. 148ft X 148ft= 21,904sq ft is approx 1/2 of an acre) you will be able to plant 21,780sq ft (1\2 acre) with a 5lb bag of Superb-uck. Be sure to plant the right amount of seed for that area that you are working with. Don't over seed it otherwise the seeds will have to compete with each other. If you have extra seed, keep it aside and plant in a different location. Store in a cool dry place until next time. 50 X 50 Yards = 1\2 acre
Try a lb of Big Uns Radish with Superb-uck as well. It wont change the seed rate, just add more goodness for the deer come fall.
FERTILIZER
Its recommended that you fertilize 3-4 weeks after planting the plot. 300lbs of fertilizer to the acre to get maximum growth of 18-18-18 (or equivalent %) sometimes what we like to do is split that up to two different applications. 150lb of 18-18-18 2-3 weeks after seeding and 150lbs approx 6-8 weeks after seeding this will quickly improve nutrient absorption in your plot and rapidly grow throughout the summer months. Driving on the plants to fertilize is ok, they will bounce back pretty quick.
MAINTENANCE
Superb-uck is a 67% perennial mix. We do not recommend mowing until the second year. The annuals in the mix create cover for the perennials to establish their root systems.
The second year, the perennial plants will take over the entire plot and will need to be mowed every 6-8 weeks, thereafter. Over seeding with Amplified is recommended. This planting will last up to 5-6 years.
TIPS:
There must be a minimum of 4 hours of sunlight for this mix to produce its full potential. Watch the weather. If there will be a rainfall within 2-3 days, now is the time to plant. If it looks hot and dry, you are best to wait for better conditions. Conduct a soil test to evaluate soil condition where you would like to plant.
