{"product_id":"dirty-bird™-food-plot-seed","title":"Dirty Bird™ Food Plot Seed","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"298\"\u003eDirty Bird is a unique blend of plant varieties designed to provide cover, nesting habitat, and high levels of available food from summer through winter. Comprised of two varieties of millet, sunflower, sorghum, and soybeans, Dirty Bird is a fantastic mix for doves, upland birds, turkey, and deer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"300\" data-end=\"796\"\u003eBy planting Dirty Bird on your property, you can improve your overall habitat in a variety of ways. It can be planted to attract doves, used to attract and hunt pheasants, provide readily available food for turkeys, or break up food plots with taller plants to offer food and help manipulate deer movement through your plots. Planting seasons vary depending on location, but planting should wait until after the last spring frost. Plant maturity ranges from 70–110 days, depending on the variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"798\" data-end=\"1136\"\u003eAs Dirty Bird grows, it provides a beautiful mix of plants that deliver both cover and food while improving overall habitat. In areas that receive significant snowfall, Dirty Bird can also serve as a vertical food source above the snow. Seed heads from sunflower, millet, and sorghum provide critical food when winter weather turns harsh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1138\" data-end=\"1423\"\u003eWe love using this mix to break up food plots or create food plot architecture because it disrupts sight lines, provides a security blanket, and offers food for deer to browse as they move through your plots. Dirty Bird is the perfect addition to your hunting property or habitat plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1425\" data-end=\"1484\"\u003e1 Jug (4.5 lbs) = 1\/4 acre\u003cbr data-start=\"1451\" data-end=\"1454\"\u003e1 Big Gulp (18 lbs) = 1 acre\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1486\" data-end=\"1569\"\u003ePlant Varieties:\u003cbr data-start=\"1502\" data-end=\"1505\"\u003eTwo varieties of millet, grain sorghum, sunflower, and soybean\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1571\" data-end=\"1840\"\u003e4.5 lbs plants 1\/4 acre (11,000 sq ft)\u003cbr data-start=\"1609\" data-end=\"1612\"\u003eSpecial varieties of millet, sorghum, sunflower, and soybean\u003cbr data-start=\"1672\" data-end=\"1675\"\u003eFor upland birds, dove, turkey, and deer\u003cbr data-start=\"1715\" data-end=\"1718\"\u003eOffers both food and cover\u003cbr data-start=\"1744\" data-end=\"1747\"\u003ePlant maturity from 70–110 days\u003cbr data-start=\"1778\" data-end=\"1781\"\u003eGreat for providing cover for game birds, doves, and deer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1842\" data-end=\"1858\"\u003ePlanting Guide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1860\" data-end=\"1905\"\u003eLocation: Full sun or mostly sun, hunt plot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1907\" data-end=\"1971\"\u003epH Range: 5.8 – 7.0 (Elbow Grease can help raise pH if needed)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1973\" data-end=\"2038\"\u003eSoil Type: Well drained, dark rich, sandy, rocky, or clay soils\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2040\" data-end=\"2084\"\u003eTilling: Till, disk, no till, or hand rake\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2086\" data-end=\"2197\"\u003eFertilizer: Use recommendation from soil test or a combined 2–3 gallons of Crank’d and Freight Train per acre\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2199\" data-end=\"2229\"\u003eSeed Depth: 1\/4 inch or less\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2231\" data-end=\"2247\"\u003ePlanting Dates\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2249\" data-end=\"2333\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eNorth: May – July\u003cbr data-start=\"2266\" data-end=\"2269\"\u003eCentral: April – July\u003cbr data-start=\"2290\" data-end=\"2293\"\u003eSouth: March – May or August – September\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domain Outdoor","offers":[{"title":"1\/4 Acre","offer_id":45660801335353,"sku":"DBFP45","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Acre","offer_id":45660801368121,"sku":"DBFP18","price":92.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/0817\/2089\/files\/DirtyBird.png?v=1775066359","url":"https:\/\/www.thearrowheadco.com\/products\/dirty-bird%e2%84%a2-food-plot-seed","provider":"The Arrowhead Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
