Growing food plot plants in your outdoor garden can feed the local wildlife for days, inviting more opportunities for animal sightings. The creatures that roam your neighborhood won't be the only ones to enjoy it; food plot plants are elegant and attractive, lending your yard a new level of appeal.
Food plot plants have proven a perfect way to draw deer and other wildlife to your backyard. Besides keeping wildlife on your land, they’re a great source of food and nutrition for deer, elk, turkey, and other wildlife so that they do not have to travel far in search of food. While food plot trees are planted with deer in mind, they also feed smaller animals like squirrels and rabbits during the brutal winter months.
The goal of planting food plots is to observe and hunt animals when they visit your property. In addition to hunters using them to attract animals, non-hunters are adding these plants to their landscaping due to several benefits.

Tips for Planting For Success
Start by choosing a mild day—avoid harsh sun or wind—and prepare soft, well-drained soil with compost to give roots a gentle start. Dig a big enough to nestle the plant without crowding it. Hold it carefully by the base, not the stem, and set it in place so the roots can spread naturally.
Backfilling the Soil
Fill in soil lightly, firming it just enough to hold the plant upright without packing it too tightly. Water slowly at the base to avoid splashing or stress. Add a light layer of mulch to help with moisture, but keep it clear of the stem.
Monitor Progress
Over the next few weeks, monitor daily, especially during hot or dry spells, and protect from foot traffic or heavy rain. By nurturing them early, you help fragile plants root securely and grow into lasting, sustainable parts of the garden.
Grow Tips For Success
Mulching Tips
Use natural mulch like shredded leaves or straw to help keep the soil cool and prevent it from drying out, but be careful not to press mulch against the stems.
If your plants are in a breezy or exposed area, consider using shade cloth or planting them near sturdier companions to protect them from wind and harsh sunlight.
Avoid Chemicals Unless Necessary
Avoid using chemical fertilizers in the early stages—compost or diluted organic teas are better for building soil health without overwhelming delicate roots. If the stems are tall and thin, provide light support with small stakes and soft ties, being careful not to damage them.
Check plants for Stress
Check plants often for signs of stress or pests and respond gently to any issues that arise.
With a steady, thoughtful approach, even the most delicate plants can become strong and lasting additions to a sustainable garden.
