Velvet Patch

A blend of forage peas, buckwheat, and joint vetch makes Tecomate Velvet Patch your next choice for the perfect summer food plot. This combination of high protein, graze tolerable forage plants makes it ideal for those smaller food plots where you might not be able to plant soybeans or lablab. Not only will this mix provide incredible nutrition during the summer months for your deer as they go through the antler building and fawning stage, but the soil building quality is incredible. High protein, fast growing, and super attractive forage peas start the blend off, making it a magnet for deer during the warm season. Buckwheat is the next component, being known for its unsurpassed soil building characteristics and weed suppression. The backbone for Tecomate Velvet Patch is Aeschynome (known as American joint vetch or deer vetch) which has quickly become a preferred summer food plot forage, especially in the southern half of the United States. Joint vetch provides excellent crude protein qualities of up to 25% or higher, but is known most for its high graze tolerance, making it a great choice in areas with high deer densities. It is also very versatile as it grows wells in a multitude of different soil types. These plants will grow well into early fall or until the first frost in your area, making it a great early season food plot or predecessor to your fall/winter food plots.
