A client of mine recently sent me an email asking the following questions:

What do you proposed for a seeder ?  I want one that would give me  the possibility of planting anything. I have seen broadcast spreader, pendulum  spreader, drop seeder, complex all in one food plot machines.

There are probably a few others starting out in whitetail deer food plots, that have asked the same question. I thought I would post the question and the response in case it helps someone else out.

 Most simple broadcast/drop seeders all operate the same way, just a fanning action to spread it around in a radius around you. These are all fine for most of the food plot seeds you will use, most of them can be dialed using a control which depends on seeds size: most are for fertilizer lime or small grass seed and wouldn’t work for larger seeds but not because of the product itself but because the seed has to go deep (1-3 inches). (same with soybeans, awp also for the most part-some exceptions)

 The aerator seeders are generally smilar to broadcasters, except they have small discs underneath the drop spout that put a little trail in the soil where the seed goes. The idea here is that the seed would theoretically be in contact with the soil more precisely. Most plots have to have a properly prepared seedbed anyway and this offers no advantage to just broadcasting and then dragging after or in some cases you don’t even need to drag. If they had a little roller or drag behind them might be ok, but have to watch seed doesn’t get too deep either. (usually no deeper than 1/4 to 1/2 inch for most things)

 The idea behind the pendulum spreader is “precision” which would be more important for orchards and so forth than for food plots. It is an expense I think you could pass on. The big selling feature here is less edge concentration and overlap and ability to apply fertilizer precisely to rows of plants etc. Not really necessary for the type of plants and planting you will be doing.

 To do corn, soybeans, awp ideally you would need a drill. Some people broadcast these too into finely tilled soil at a higher rate, expect losses so seed heavier/acre and then drag and use a roller in fine soil and hope it gets 1-3 inches deep for corn. If you buy a drill, make sure it has attachments for smaller seeds. Most are made for larger seeds and have to have an adapter with them so you can change between them.

Check out the blog www.vetjudy.com and see the videos on food plotting,  all these plots were done with atv and minimal equipment. 

As far as the all in one goes. See these two links and then see my comments too

 In the second link you will see the guy is on basically turf type underground. So it would likely be ok there. But in a new food plot it is not likely to be very successful on first pass: like it suggests it could be. In the article : http://www.diydeerfoodplots.com/articles/5-steps-to-successful-fall-planting-of-whitetail-food-plots.html  you will see what most food plot sites start out like, and by the time the soil is prepared properly enough for this unit to be successful, then we no longer needed an all in one. Most people in the forums  are not that impressed with them for the cost. In certain circumstances they are viable, just be cautious that it may not be as great as you would originally hope for.  

I wrote this one day after a discussion with my brother Gord. I dedicate this thought to him and may his life and “your” life always be a manifestation of the greater good.

Meditation (focused concentration) on getting things for ourselves for the purposes of comfort, security, pride, a sense of accomplishment is a very immature use of the true power within us.

Think of anything you do as affecting the people in the next lives (karma) and pray and meditate that your concept best serve the world and its people who all struggle for the same thing: happiness, purpose and freedom from pain.

Consider releasing the project (your life, your work, your efforts in your family) to the universe and work diligently in a direction to which you feel guided to work, but ask deeply for IT to be done through you (not because of you).

This is a mature use of the soul within us and brings quicker alignment to a vision that is usually bigger than the one we have in our head. I mean who can really know what is the best use of your life, your project or your skills. Life has a much bigger manifestation for us but we are usually stopping it by petty wishes for comfort in our physical lives (money and success).

Let positive loving thoughts predominate your thinking at all times. Quiet the ego and give your amazing talents to the universe to use and true happiness is yours for the taking. Did you know that the universe never gives us a big garden to tend to when we can’t tend to a small corner that is given to us every day from a loving heart and a sense of service.

Just a thought to contemplate today:)

What is ” The Law of Attraction” ?

The Law of Attraction Simply states that whatever we Focus on will be drawn to us.

The “Nut and Bolts” of the Law of Attraction

The the secret law of attraction starts in our minds mixed with our emotions. As You are aware thought and emotions are energy. We can’t see the energy but science has proven that they exists. Our brain show ‘brain waves” when we are thinking and this can be displayed on the monitor of a brain wave machine. Our brain activity can be demonstrated in what science calls alpha-waves, beta-waves, theta-waves and delta-waves. These are all manifestation of energy. The law of attraction is best explained by briefly taking a look at Quantum Physics Quantum Physics. It is the study of the building blocks of the universe. Quantum Physics has proven that everything in this universe is made up of atoms, and atoms are made up of sub-atomic particles sometimes called quanta. These sub-atomic particles are nothing but concentration of energy.

It has become clear that everything in this universe is made of energy. The only difference between an atom of Iron and an atom of gold is that the atom of iron has energy that is vibrating at a different frequency to the energy of gold. It is clear that the reason why the same particles grow together is because they are vibrating at the same frequency.

How the Law of Attraction work?

In order to explain how the Law of Attraction works we need to understand what thought are.

Thoughts are Vibrational Energy and a very potent form of energy. That means that it will be attract to other energy with the same frequency. when we hold a thought in our mind or the picture of an item we would like to attract then the picture in our mind (thought) is at the same frequency of the item we are attempting to attract. This is a very simplified explanation of how we attract things to us.

How to implement the law of attraction

step 1: Determine what it is that you would like to Attract hold a picture in your mind.
Step 2: Hold the picture in your mind for as long and as often as possible
Step 3:See yourself enjoying the thing you would like to attract e.g. If it’s a new car see yourself driving in the car waving to your friend. See yourself driving the car to a favorite place.

How to activate the law of attraction?
The simplest way to activate it is to hold a mental picture of what you desire as long as possible and as often as possible. Feel that you already have what you want with certainty; you will see it quickly in your physical life.

There are best motivation book available which will give more information on the law of Attraction.
