There are many things you need to know when creating your own forage for wildlife on your Northeast Ohio property. Knowing which forage to plant and for what wildlife that lives near you is essential. The ideal location to plant food supplements or forages is where the specific wildlife you’re trying to target seeks cover. Prime locations are those that are near brushy areas, corners of shrubbery, fence rows and wooded area edges. This way the local wildlife can comfortably feed without feeling vulnerable. Larger plots help protect wildlife from predators because the wildlife will not be concentrated in a small area but spread out. It is recommended that most plots should be at least 50 feet wide, between 1 acre for small game and 5 acres for deer or turkey, and of an irregular shape so the plot provides more edge. If you need assistance finding the perfect wildlife seed blend for your area forage, consider requesting a wildlife seed catalog from Merit Seed in Berlin. This catalog contains the wildlife blends perfect for creating a wonderful plot to sustain the wildlife in your area.  Remember, the wildlife blend you select will cater to certain species in the area, so choose wisely. Once you have chosen the perfect seed, be sure to invest in one of their seed spreaders from Earthway. An Earthway spreader is designed, engineered, and manufactured to be a high quality lawn and garden product used by homeowners and professionals alike!
