Throw and Grow plot

[Toke2]

...planted a throw and grow plot out in the woods (public) two weeks ago. Wondering if anyone has had experience with these, and how soon I should go back and check it / put up a trail cam. I did rake and loosen the soil, used a spreader ( only 20x20 ). I did NOT fertilize it, or water it. Any thoughts on how it may do?

most of them seeds mixes, have a coating of a littl;e bit of fert lime and start up
most will grow as long as the ground isn't hard as a rock, and well the seeds make contact with dirt/soil, and not sit on leaves and that matter
most of the seeds in them are pretty fast growing and you should see a sprout of what's in the in 7 days or less on most seeds
in about 3 weeks, it should be about 3-4 inches tall on a good take or taller
al lot of teh seeds are like 45-80 day deals to mature status

I put some down two weeks ago Saturday, went back last week it was almost 4".. If you put it in a 50 shade 50 sun and not rock hard it grows really well...

is it legal to plant plots on public land ?????????????

Thanks - comments are encouraging. Wasn't too optimistic but thought I would give it a try. 00Buck - I don't know. I guess I thought since I didn't cut anything ( only raked the soil) I assumed it was legal. I will have to find out and report back. I am not one to break any rules, but ignorance is no excuse... While on the subject is it legal to trim any branches when using a climber on public land? I try to find "ready to climb" trees, but now I am wondering if I pruned a branch from my set up - if I would be violating any regs?? Unless someone knows for sure ( if so please share), I will call the ODNR and get some answers...

here in PA< it is illegal to cut or trim any living tree, and or plant anything on public lands state or federal
NOW will a game warden write you up for cutting a few small branches or twigs??
or will they notice any small plots??
Maybe maybe not, but odds are its not allowed in Ohio either
call that stuff the gray area, most of do at some point in time in our yrs hunting, and well, some get in trouble and some don't
Good luck!
