Bio-Max? any good

[Suds1957]

    Just wanted to know what you guys thought about the new Bio-max? I think that how its spelled...
 Has anyone tried it yet,did the roundup work o.k.,or is it too early for reviews? Thought I would try
next year on about a 2 acre plot if the reveiws are good. I'm also wondering how the broadcast method
would work with this,I think you would have much better luck with planting and germanation with a planter
or drill. Also,with spraying the roundup,any info would be great for the coming fall....Thats when I buy for next
yrs. planting,[its cheaper].....

Suds,

I'll let you know on the Bio-Max question after this weekend. While I've never planted it, I'm going to a Food Plot Day tomorrow morning. 52 demonstration food plots will be on display for tours. Seeds from all the major manufacturers will be there plus a few that people have mixed themselves. All of the Biologic blends will be on display, as well as a rep from Biologic. I'll ask him and see what kind of response I get. I'll also ask a few buddies from the area to find out if they have had success with it.

I will tell you that you can't go wrong with any of the major seed brands. They have tailored those to the area in which you reside, so the mix you get is tailored to your growing season with varieties that grow well in your area. I'm bringing my video camera and will post some video on my homepage when I get back. I'll let you know when I've got it posted. We'll see what kind of browse damage is evident in it. The cool thing is that I'll be able to see which plots the deer walk through to get to what they want to eat.

Check the Quality Deer Management's website ( http://www.qdma.com ) to find out if there is an event like this in your area. It's well worth the drive. I'm driving 3 hours to get to this one, but I'd drive 6. They are that valuable.

     Went to your site and its impressive.Also,seen where there is a show[class] at Fortville,Ind. later on this month.I'll try to sneak off that evening and attend. Could you please find out where to purchase Bio-Maxx around central Indinana where I live,all the places have every product from Bio-logic except that one!Can't seem to find it....Thought mybe I could mix some  round-up ready corn & beans I might be able to get from some of the framers around here! I can plant it,spray it,just need to find it!!!!!!!


       Thanks Suds

Suds,

Thanks for the Kudos on the site. We were out on the gasline doing some shooting a couple weekends ago and jumped a 10 point, and a 4 point off the South Perimeter Trail. First bachelor group we've seen out there. We have quite a battle going on to combat some "mismanagement" at the state level (but that's another story).

I saw a lot of great food plot mixes at the Food Plot Day. The Bio-Max looked good. I would give it a try.
Did you check out Mossy Oak's Biologic site. http://www.mossyoakbiologic.com/home.asp?section=home They have a dealer locator. I believe they even ship the stuff. They have some cool sample packs that I meant to try this spring. Have to try it next year.

The food plot that I was the most impressed with, and the one I will plant in our Main Food Plot this fall is Michigan's Ultimate Blend. Ed Spinnazola makes this mix, and it was planted in a first year, and a second year plot. The first fall, brassicas and rape come in heavy. They are the nurse crop. Next spring, the perennials kick in and 5 clovers, chicory, Birdsfoot trefoil and grazing alfalfa take over. You have a killer perennial plot. Surprisingly to me, was that it blew the major brands away. I was going to pick up Imperial Whitetail Clover and chose this over it. You can check it out at http://www.deerattraction.com/
