Most of our plots are a durana/patriot mix. I maintain them by mowing, spraying, and then fertilizing them with 0-20-20 every fall. Then I will “freshen up” any older plots where the clover is getting thin. Another practice I am beginning to adopt is to disturb the soil in areas with high sunlight next to my plots in late winter/early summer to promote natural Forbs and legumes such as Ragweed and Partridge Pea, the science on deer use of these natural things is very very interesting. And can be achieved for very very little cost. I apologize for ranting...to answer your question if what you are doing is working then I’d stick to it! It looks great to me! I like the durana/patriot mix because I do not have to go back and plant each plot each year.

The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.
