Deer are keeping our small plots MOWED down. Is it to late to throw some fertilizer on them?

can't hurt, I wouldn't go buy any but if you got some.....spread it.

FYI...all of my small plots in the woods got destroyed. Looked like rabbits did a lot too.

You seeing any wabbits

Have a couple of swamp rabbits on camera in my plot. They look to be the size of a Shetland pony

I LOVE LOVE LOVE straight ammonia on grass plots i.e. wheat, oats, rye, etc...

You have to be careful putting on too much, but it will make the grass green green green and I have always been told it makes the grass sweeter to the deer and they eat it better. My personal observation is that it does.

I have been applying monthly starting about first of December for the last 15 years. Just try and time your application with some rain.

Not too late to fertilize. One time application 150-200 lbs to the acre of 34-0-0 will do the job. Winter forages need the fertilizer in the winter.

It is also good to do grazing exclusion areas to really see if it is overgrazing or just slow growing plot.
