I think I am going to try to plant one of my stands this year. Problem is, this is a "field" in the middle of a hammock, and has a tendency to get wet. Last summer up till bow season it was about ankle deep in water, then it stayed dry the entire season. Now it is back to ankle deep again. Wondering what I can plant that will survive in possible standing water. I know aeschynomene can. Wondering what else
Lily pads. :boat
Just kidding. I ran into that problem a few years back in my old hunt club. My one plot (1/4 acre) could be ankle to knee deep right up to bow season and then it would disappear. Was kind of hard planting anything to last year round. I'm interested to see what others may recommend cuz I have no clue.
Persimmon Trees. I've seen them several ft under seasonal water and thrive. Other than that, I'm clueless.
I planted this mix in a creek bottom that held some water and it did ok alsike clover mammoth red clover alice white clover. Not all of it came up and did well but the alsike did very well
Plant some watermelons down there! They'll soak it up and keep the hogs interested! Of course, I hear coyotes and other things love them, too. Might get cited for hunting over a baited field!
