LEVEL 1

Choose LEVEL 1 if you have limited equipment and need suggestions on how to proceed. Ideally, you have an ATV or garden tractor with a small disk, some kind of seed/fertilizer spreader and a pump up sprayer. We would recommend that you find a tractor for hire to disk unbroken ground. That way, you can keep costs down yet dramatically increase your chances for success. With limited equipment your first few plots might not be award winners but you CAN STILL BE SUCCESSFUL in attracting and holding deer on your hunting property. Our goal at Tecomate is to maximize your success with the tools available to you. Ideally, we would like to see all our products professionally planted, as to reach the full potential of the Tecomate "System". But, everybody's got to start somewhere, and we're happy you've chosen to start with Tecomate!

The following "keys to success" are formulated with a "LEVEL 1" criteria in mind. If you have access to a tractor and implements or a Plotmaster or other planting machine, we suggest you also review the information in LEVEL 2.

1) Soil Preparation and Lime
2) Planting
3) Fertilizer
4) Repellents
5) Herbicides
