What to plant

[jmg343]

I have a piece of my property, about 20' wide by 100' long.  Get some mid and late day sun, but not an immense amount.  On one side of the swath, the West side, is my lawn.  On the East side is the woods, about 100 acres +/-.  To the south would be my neighbors lawn and to the North would be more of my property, ferns, pine trees, and such. 

 

Is there something I could plant in this swath that would provide a good food source for the deer?  Something they would be enticed by and want to repeatedly return to.

 

Is there something that would thrive here?  Something that requires moderate to little sun, and about the same amount of water.

 

Would it even be worth it?

Can helicopters see it from the air ? If not I say cannabis

 

I don't honestly know a lot about food plots but do know any food plot is better than none. I believe a good mix would help you out. Did you check Food Plot threads for tips ?

[jmg343]

Havent searched the Food plot threads too thoroughly just yet.

 

And, I prefer the indoor strains.

Sounds like a nice place for a clover plot. Clover tolerates moderate shade quite well.

And that small of an area clover is all i can think of that will bounce back quickly from overgrazing. If you decide to go with clover, go with a white Ladino clover, they are larger than other variants and can easily be found in most local agways or online. You may want to add in that mix Pasja turnips (no root ball), they are leaf heavy and grow back from grazing and will provide protection of your clover until they take root.

Don't know that I would want to plant clover abutting my law.  That said, it would be a good option if you aren't worried about it taking over the lawn.

I'd be happy if it took over a good chunk of my lawn.

Can never have enough clover

I'd say clover if your not worried for the lawn. Or wait til September 1st and mix clover seed with a cold tolerant forage oat seed. Oats grow anywhere just about..

Do not worry about clover overtaking your lawn if you have wildlife around, they will eat it up year round , i have a problem keeping enough growing with a few acres of it in different areas.
