Most people are more interested in planting perennials because they only
have to make the planting one time. However, annuals should not be
overlooked. Annuals are fast growing and will provide an immediate food
source for wildlife.
Game birds seldom range over more than a square mile. If there is no food
for them on your property, they have no other alternative than to leave in
search food, it's a matter of preservation.
Cover or natural hiding places to these birds is just as important as your
(home or apartment) is to you. It is a place from their natural enemies. So
if you can provide as much natural food and cover for game birds they will
have a better chance for survival and you have created the ideal habitat for
them.
Our annual mixes (Tall or Short Mix) will also provide some late fall and
winter feeding as the seed will stay on the stalks after snow cover. Some
will stand up and some will lay down after a heavy snow.
Our food mixes can be planted in strips and patches along the edges of
woods, near ponds or steams, along fence lines and near areas |
