My apologies to Bio.Logic's Hot Spot. They actually place the seed mix label on the bottom of the bag and I didn't see it there. The blend for Hot Spot consists of: 48.48% Goetze Common Wheat 26.89% Trophy Rape 14.26% Tam 90 Annual Ryegrass 7.86% Daikon Radish 0.66% Other Crop Seeds 1.76% Inert Matter 0.09% Weed Seeds
Great review. Looking at the seed labels from big name companies blows me away. One of the Whitetail Institute seeds in this video literally had 53% inert matter in it. I know the inert matter can help with getting an even spread in some cases, but 53% seems insane.
Hey Casey! Exactly! It’s definitely important to check those labels! Thanks for checking out my channel! Check out Part 2 and Part 3 of this video series if you have a few moments. Pretty interesting stuff 👍🏻
Hey Sean! Thanks so much, man! There are two other parts to this video series (check out part 3 if you can). I also have a good bit of other food plot content. Thanks for watching! 👍🏻
Hey malko3611 thanks for checking out my channel and for the feedback! That’s awesome! Domain Outdoor makes some high-quality stuff! Best of luck this season 👍🏻
Hey Anthony! Thanks so much for checking out my channel and for the kind words! Yeah Domain Outdoor is legit! I’m a big fan! Best of luck this season 👍🏻
Important to distinguish between common rye grass and cereal rye. I'm no expert on the products you tested, and am not suggesting you gave any inaccurate information. Just want everyone to know cereal rye is a good food source for deer where common rye grass is not.
Interesting video! One thing I do notice is you crowded the honey hole tray to much,brassica likes its space. Usually in a month they are 8" tall or better
Hey Greg! Thanks for the info! I appreciate it. I know I overseeded, for sure. I’m still monitoring the trays and will hopefully post an update in a few weeks. 👍🏻
Thanks Keith! There are three other parts to this video series (part 3 is pretty interesting) and I’ve got a ton of other food plot content. Thanks for watching and best of luck this season 🦌
Hey very good video one thing something I just learned today though on another person video and I’m 48 years old there is two different maybe even more kinds Rye Grass I feel like a dummy but you always learning I planted Rye grass one season and had 3 different lanes one lane was rye one was oats one was wheat every single time the deer would never eat the rye and walk over it to eat the oats first the wheat but come to find out I planted regular rye your supposed to plant Cereal Rye or also called winter rye and cover crop and it’s planted for cows and livestock Deer love it just make sure it’s right kind
Awesome video...thank you for all the info! I just subscribed and anxious for updates! Would you recommend overseeding an existing killer Imperial clover plot in Mid-late August with some of these products?
Hey Dennis! Thanks so much for subscribing! I really appreciate it! You can check out Part 2 of this video series here th-cam.com/video/QkHgHlqjrIk/w-d-xo.html and Part 3 here th-cam.com/video/n8d4T6btPDc/w-d-xo.html I'm personally going to reseed my existing Secret Spot food plot from last year (you can also find a couple videos on that on my channel). There was some really nice white and crimson clovers that came back, but I have ferns that are crowding them out. I'm going to be raking it up about mid august and putting new seed down. Best of luck with your food plot! Let me know how it works out for you!
@@mountainbuck Hey just an update....I planted 2 plots in the woods after watching your review. I used Hot Spot in one, and No Plow in the other. Raked both spots vigorously. Had rain 3 hours later, and rain for the next 3 days! Both are doing well...but the Hot Spot is crushing it. Lots of rye grass though, as you mentioned. Will keep you posted, Keep up the great videos!
Hey Levi! Thanks for checking out my channel! I’m a big fan of Domain Outdoor (Hot Chic and No BS). You should definitely check out Part 3 of this video series. I’ve also planted Hot Chic and No BS on my own property for this upcoming season (I have videos on those as well). If you go to my channel page, I have a Throw & Grow playlist with all these videos. Let me know how you make out and best of luck!👍🏻
@@mountainbuck I intend too! We're closing on 26 acres middle of next month so doing some research now to see what we can throw down for this fall! Thanks!
Hey thanks so much, Steve! I appreciate it! I’ve been thinking about doing a video like this for years (before I had a channel). It’s not perfect, but still pretty interesting (I think). Thanks again!
Hey zMarshalls! Thanks for checking out my channel! You can view Part 2 here: th-cam.com/video/QkHgHlqjrIk/w-d-xo.html I hope to have Part 3 (90 day follow up) out next week! Thanks for watching 👍🏻

People please go to your local feed and seed place and at least talk to the employees about what they sell and how it compares to food plot mixes in big box stores. Spoiler, most won’t try and pawn off a mix with 25% rye grass with 30% inert matter. Just do a little research, you’ll probably save money and definitely have more attractive plots
Hey Ben! Thanks for checking out my channel! That could be! I totally missed the seed info on Hot Spot because it was in the bottom of the bag. Good point!
Hey Chandler, thanks for checking out my channel. Hook me up and hit subscribe if you could. There a several really good products that I’ve tested. As far as what grew the best over the 30 days, I would say the top 4 were Hot Spot, Buck Brunch, No-plow and No BS. I plan on planting 2-3 mini food plots in mid August and will be planting No BS and Hot Spot (waiting a bit longer to decide on the third - maybe Honey Hole or Foundation Clover). There are a lot of good products here and you can check out some of my other food plot videos on Secret Spot and No-plow if you’re interested. Best of luck and let me know how it goes!
For all the people that say deer do not eat rye grass- my trail camera in 2023 said otherwise. We took 4 deer off of a very small plot of throw and grow that deer were visiting daily.
Hey thanks for watching! There are some clovers in that mix and I’ve killed a buck in that stuff before myself. I guess it all comes down to the deer’s options. Best of luck this season🦌
Deer absolutely eat Rye Grass…last yr turkey destroyed my oats/winter wheat/rye/winter peas before any rain. Planted rye grass last min…killed justbas many deer and they ate it just fine
Great informative video. Thank you. I have a small food plot or two to plant here in Northeastern Maine. Hopefully, I can find some of these products somewhere. Maine North Woods Hunter (SHANE)
Hey Shane! Thanks for the positive feedback! Much appreciated. Pretty much all of these items are available on Amazon. I have links to the products in the description if you are interested 👍🏻
I agree.. probably beat the top of this bunch because it offers good fall food, and little to no “filler” seed that is essentially useless. It takes a little longer to get the result you want, but planted at the right time, it will be quality food for the time you want deer on your land. Getting green coverage means nothing when it’s ryegrass, unless you are in an area with very poor fall food. This video, and the subsequent ones should be helpful for people to understand that inert matter and ryegrass are worthless for deer when there are quality options like clover and chicory right next to them.
Terrible test. First of all you are providing a perfect seed bed, not a non tilled piece of ground. Secondly, you are paying for 60% rye in the majority of these mixes which is the cheapest seed you can buy. Better off keeping your plots one type of plant.
Haha ok bro. Clearly you didn’t watch much of the video and missed some of the salient points. I discuss the contents of each container of seeds (included the seed mix labels), how important it is to take note of the types of seeds you are purchasing and even had a discussion about rye grass. Secondly, this is an experiment I’m conducting with 10 throw and grow mixes and how they produce under the same conditions. It took time, money and effort to complete this video series. My apologies if it wasn’t up to your standard.
My apologies to Bio.Logic's Hot Spot. They actually place the seed mix label on the bottom of the bag and I didn't see it there. The blend for Hot Spot consists of:

Hot spot label should be on bottom of bag a sticker I used it comes up good with 50 on 13-13-13
Hey Haniball! You are right and so is the throw and grow labels. I totally missed it when I did this video 👍🏻
Awesome video. Thanks for posting
Thanks so much, Anthony! I appreciate you watching. You should check out Part 3 of this series 👍🏻🦌
Great comparison! Thank you.
Thank you Anthony! 👍🏻
I recommend the NB,they actually have several different types 😅 very recommend.
Good deal man. Thanks for watching👍🏻👍🏻
If you cover the seeds with soil, is it really throw and grow?
🤔
Interesting video! One thing I do notice is you crowded the honey hole tray to much,brassica likes its space. Usually in a month they are 8" tall or better
Hey Greg! Thanks for the info! I appreciate it. I know I overseeded, for sure. I’m still monitoring the trays and will hopefully post an update in a few weeks. 👍🏻

Thanks for sharing! Best of luck this season 🦌👍🏻
Solid video, good info.
Side note your hair is rock solid 👌 goals for sure.
Hey thanks Matt haha. Also thanks for checking out my channel! Best of luck this season 👍🏻
I used to Imperial clover in less in a week it already was nice and thick small but nice and sick I like it
Hey Keith! Thanks for the input! Best of luck with your food plot 🦌

Hey thanks for your input! Absolutely! Definitely plant the Rye cereal grain, but not the rye grass. Great call and best of luck this season 🌱🦌👍🏻
Thanks < I would not buy a bag that didn't tell the seeds mix or one with rye grass but that me . Did like the ones with 3-4 hr sunlight mix .
Thanks for checking out my channel, Steve! Best of luck with your food plot! Let me know what you decide on and how it comes up for you 👍🏻
What was that mix?

@@mountainbuck your welcome! It's nice to see something different !
You should set them all in a line in the woods, set a trail camera up and see which one gets hammered the most by the deer

Soil temperature is un naturaly hi, siting up on a table in the direct sun all day,
to hot , soil dries out faster, plants dry out and dont grow well
Interesting point. Thanks for watching. 👍🏻
This was great experiment! Nice work thanks again
Thanks for checking it out! Best of luck with your food plot 👍🏻
Well done. Valuable information.
Thank you runningbear! There are two more parts to this series. Part 3 is super interesting. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Rye grass does nothing for deer but grows super easy so they use it as filler to make you think seed mix growing well so your happy shortly after
Good points Sandwich King! Thanks for the input and for checking out my channel👍🏻
Ive used domain in Wny and had very slow results
How much rain have you had and what seed mix did you use?
Trying the same stuff this year as well (the throw and grow)
Good deal! Best of luck with it👍🏻

thank you this was a big help

People please go to your local feed and seed place and at least talk to the employees about what they sell and how it compares to food plot mixes in big box stores.

Hey Stuart, thanks for the insight! Knowing and understanding "what's in the bag" is one of the main points of the video. Best of luck this season!
I thought the Evolved Harvest Throw & Gro had the seed analysis on the very bottom?....
Hey Ben! Thanks for checking out my channel! That could be! I totally missed the seed info on Hot Spot because it was in the bottom of the bag. Good point!
Hey! Would be great to see a version where you dont mix it in the soil.
Thanks man. Maybe I’ll give that a shot sometime. Thanks for watching!

Hey Ron! Thanks for the feedback and for checking out my channel! Best of lu k this season 👍🏻
Definitely both used by different companies. You want cereal rye, rye grass is like your lawn.
Not really a good comparison. I would have used crappy 5 ph dirt like the forest may be
Yeah maybe next time. All things were equal for the seeds though.
Some contain rye grass which is useless
Spot on ✅
1000$ worth of seeds lol
Wish you didn't mix it because that's plowing
