[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5726351, member: 20583"] That's really what I'm interested in. I'm growing weary of the food plot seesaw. It's a constant expense and labor with a coin toss result year to year. An orchard of varying fruit and drop times could be a layer of insurance for drought years like this. It would provide continuity that deer and other wildlife could depend on to a degree higher than plots. Clover coverage underneath seems a better and lower maintenance option than trying to control early successional growth from overtaking the orchard. Maples, gums, poplars, locusts, etc. would overpower the fruit trees fairly quickly if allowed, so mowing a couple times per year would be required I think. And if mowing anyway, may as well have clover??? [/QUOTE]
