Ok ordered biomass all legume from biologic. Well today was expected delivery date and I only got some accessories I was looking for and not the seeds. I called them and said Canada does not allow biomass in???? Wow anything else our government restricts like seriously.

Anyways the mix is simply soy, peas and lablab. Anyone know where to buy locally in southern ontario? I have some farmer supply stores nearby would they carry bulk seeds? Would me buying the seeds separately be no different then buying biomass? Or is their seed specially formulated for deer? I figured they used a special gmo for deer and different for humans lol

Thanks

go to your closest coop
buy the seeds you want (they will be way cheaper)
but !!!!!! don't mix your seeds plant strips of each seed that way they don't compete and you will have full grown strips of each seed
as one seed will overpower the other and take over !!!!
good luck

There are no seeds special for deer. You can get everything you need from coop, feed stores and farmers supply. There is a lot of good information here on OTB and a lot of members with excellent knowledge and advice for those looking to getting into some planting. I am learning all the time myself. :cheers:

Want something better then soya beans ?

4010 peas at the coop. Most coops carry them and at around $22 for 40lbs ( Ballpark ) It will only cost you $44 for an acre.
You can also mix in a pound or 2 of sunflowers if you want and deer love the stuff.
4010 peas can handle lower ph as well.
Most people plant peas with a grain to help the peas stand up (oats, cheep as well) but I have bear issues so I try to plant them without oats. Deer eat peas till after a few frosts. Brassica plot would take off then :wink:

4010 peas is interesting. Does it create forage and protein quickly? And all spring summer?

Sunflowers??? As in 30' tall yellow flowers? I didn't know deer like that? Don't they show up in fall?

4010 peas,,,,, AKA winter peas :wink:
As for sunflowers,,, deerfarmer can tell you stories of deer eating the flowers like a pie. They eat the plant as well.

As for protein,,,, Its mostly all B.S. sales pitches,

Deer only require around 15% crude protein.

Studies have been done on food sources that contain 10 15 20 30% protein and the deer eat what protein there bodies required and PREFERED foods in around the 15% mark. Protein to promote antler growth is more of a sales pitch to promote some peoples wallets.
Genetics play a bigger role in horns the protein ever will.

Sunflowers are excellent food source for deer and drought resisitant.
