Mason,

Broadside works best when planted 45 to 60 days before the first frost of the fall.  The date of the first frost can vary substantially each year and location to location depending on elevation.   I look at the average first frost date for the area to be planted and then consider if the year seems warmer or colder than normal.  I also try to plant Broadside just before or during a rain.   The soil moisture helps insure rapid germination and forage growth.  Be sure to collect a soil sample and have it analyzed long before planting time.  

All forage attracts deer better if it’s healthy.  If there aren’t enough nutrients (fertilizer) in the soil the plants will be malnourished and won’t be as tasty/attractive to deer.

Enjoy creation,
