Whitetail Hill Soggy Bottoms Seed Mix — Moisture-Tolerant Wet-Plot Blend

Turn Wet Ground into Productive Ground

Whitetail Hill Soggy Bottoms is a deliberate blend designed for damp, sun-drenched to lightly shaded spots where moisture challenges other plots. By combining turnips with carefully selected moisture-tolerant clovers, this mix offers a practical option for growers who want to reclaim ground that stays wet or soggy after rain. The result is a resilient stand that can establish early and hold its color and vigor through changing conditions, without claiming to cure every wet-soil situation. It’s a thoughtful pathway to expanding planting options on difficult terrain.

Why this mix stands out

• Turnips and three-clover blend creates diverse forage and soil structure.
• Moisture resistant varieties help the stand endure damp conditions.
• Designed to survive in spots where other mixes struggle.
• Cold hardy genetics give the plot resilience into cooler seasons.
• Shade-tolerant varieties extend planting opportunities beyond full sun.

Where and when to plant

• Areas with full sun to moderate shade, well suited to moist soils.
• North: March–May or July–August; Central: March–April or August–September; South: September–Early November.
• Can be frost seeded in winter 3–5 weeks before the last frost.

How to prepare and sow for best results

• Soil prep: Disc, till, or plow; no-till is possible with light raking or exposing the soil.
• Soil compaction: Culti-pack or drive over with an ATV before and after planting for best seed-to-soil contact.
• Planting depth: 1/4 inch or less; moisture-friendly seed needs shallow coverage.
• Fertilizer: Use Whitetail Hill Soil Test results and apply as recommended.

What to expect in the field

Germination may align with spring and fall moisture patterns. Look for a mix of leafy clover foliage interspersed with showy turnip tops, offering both ground cover and forage. The blend emphasizes resilience in areas that stay damp without standing water, helping you make the most of challenging plots while remaining true to the data-driven design.
