Hot Chic™ Food Plot Seed

Clover and Chicory for Durable, Low-Maintenance Perennial Forage

Hot Chic™ Food Plot Seed is designed for perennial deer food plots, logging roads, partial shade, and low-maintenance nutrition. Built around chicory and two varieties of clover, it is the kind of planting you establish carefully once, then manage for repeat forage instead of starting from scratch every fall.

Features and Benefits

Clover plus chicory. The combination gives you shallow-rooted legume forage and deep-rooted broadleaf forage in one perennial-style plot.

Partial-shade friendly. A good fit for logging roads, woods openings, and plots that do not receive full-day sun.

Lower maintenance potential. Once established, the mix can keep producing without starting over every fall.

Summer resilience. Chicory helps maintain forage when heat and dry weather slow shallow-rooted species.

High-protein nutrition. Clover adds quality forage during spring and summer nutritional demand.

Scales easily. The 3 lb Jug covers about 1/2 acre and the 24 lb Big Gulp about 4 acres.

Specifications

Actual establishment, forage production, and wildlife use will vary with rainfall, soil conditions, planting timing, fertility, and browse pressure.

How Much Do You Need?

1 Jug (3 lbs.) = 1/2 acre. For larger projects, 1 Big Gulp (24 lbs.) = 4 acres. Use the stated coverage as your starting point rather than seeding the whole container by feel.

For irregular hunting plots, multiply average width by average length and divide by 43,560 to estimate acres. That two-minute calculation is cheaper than buying extra seed and a lot less frustrating than discovering you only planted two-thirds of the plot.

Full Description

Perennial-style plots are about consistency rather than a one-week burst of attraction. Hot Chic™ Food Plot Seed uses chicory and two varieties of clover to create perennial deer food plots, logging roads, partial shade, and low-maintenance nutrition.

The payoff is repeat forage. Instead of resetting the plot every season, you manage fertility, weeds, mowing or clipping where appropriate, and stand health so the planting keeps contributing across multiple growth cycles.

That makes pH and soil preparation especially important. If you are asking a stand to live on the property for years, fixing the soil before planting is usually cheaper than spending those same years wondering why it never looked right.

Use perennial plots as a stable forage base, then rotate annual grains, brassicas, and warm-season crops elsewhere to keep the property diverse.

Planting Notes

Plant for your region. North: March–June or August–September Central: March–May or August–September South: February–April or September–October. Treat the calendar as a window, then let current soil moisture and forecast rainfall make the final call.

Start with pH. The supplied target range is 5.5–7.0. A soil test tells you whether lime or other correction belongs ahead of fertilizer and seed.

Match the site. Recommended soil fit is well-drained or moist soil, dark/rich soil, sandy soil, and loam. Good drainage and a firm seedbed usually beat a fluffy, overworked seedbed.

Plan for weed control. A clean first season is worth the effort because perennial stands have to live with the competition you leave behind.

Why Food Plotters Plant It

Hot Chic™ Food Plot Seed is for plotters who would rather manage a productive stand than recreate the same bare dirt every year. The reward is repeat forage and a more stable food source on the property.

Treat the stand like an asset: soil test it, control weeds, and protect enough leaf area that deer do not browse it into submission before it can recover.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Hot Chic Food Plot Seed best used for?

Its best fit is perennial deer food plots, logging roads, partial shade, and low-maintenance nutrition. That is the role this product should solve on the property; if your main need is something else, another seed type may be a better use of the acre.

What is actually in Hot Chic Food Plot Seed?

The supplied product information lists chicory and two varieties of clover. Knowing the species matters because it tells you whether the plot is built around fast annual forage, perennial nutrition, grain, brassicas, or habitat structure.

How much Hot Chic Food Plot Seed do I need?

Use the published package coverage rather than guessing: 1 Jug (3 lbs.) = 1/2 acre; 1 Big Gulp (24 lbs.) = 4 acres. Measure irregular plots before ordering so your seeding rate stays where it belongs.

When should I plant Hot Chic Food Plot Seed?

The supplied planting guidance is North: March–June or August–September Central: March–May or August–September South: February–April or September–October. Use that as a regional window, then adjust for local rain, soil moisture, temperature, and the date you need the plot hunting well.

What soil pH should I have before planting?

The listed target is 5.5–7.0. If your soil is below that range, correcting pH can improve nutrient availability and make the fertilizer you apply work harder.

How long should I expect the plot to last?

That depends on the species, soil, weeds, browse pressure, and management. Perennial-style plots earn their value when pH and fertility are maintained and competition is controlled.

Can this work in partial shade?

The supplied sunlight guidance is full sun to partial shade. Partial shade can work for many perennial forages, but fewer hours of sunlight generally means less total production.

What fertility matters most?

Start with a soil test. Established legumes often need less added nitrogen than grains or brassicas, while pH, phosphorus, and potassium can be critical to long-term stand health.
