Product Description

Want a food plot that keeps feeding deer all winter — and improves your soil while it does? This all-in-one brassica blend does both, in a single planting.

Old Cobblers Farm™ Wicked Tuff Turf Brassica Blend is a forage brassica mix combining turnip, rape, kale, and radish. “Forage” simply means a crop grown to be eaten by animals — here, deer, cattle, sheep, and goats. Because each species in the blend matures at a different time, the plot gives you continuous feed: rape and radish bring early-fall greens, kale stays leafy through snow, and turnip bulbs store energy underground for late-winter grazing.

The mix does double duty below ground. Radish sends down a deep taproot that breaks up hardpan (the hard, compacted layer that blocks water and roots) and “scavenges” nitrogen — pulling leftover nitrogen up from deep soil so it isn’t lost to runoff. Brassicas also contribute biofumigation, a natural process where decomposing brassica tissue helps suppress some soil pests. The result is a more resilient plot than any single species alone.

Key Benefits

-Continuous forage: staggered maturity keeps the plot productive from early fall through deep winter.

-Maximum wildlife draw: varied leaves, stems, and roots offer a buffet that keeps deer and game coming back.

-Breaks compaction: deep radish taproots open hardpan and improve drainage — a natural “biological plow.”

-Cold hardiness: kale and turnips stay palatable and nutrient-dense after hard frosts.

-Soil health bonus: nitrogen scavenging and fast canopy closure cut nutrient loss and weeds.

Best Uses

     Deer and wildlife food plots

     Late-season livestock grazing extension

     Multi-species cover-crop planting

     Soil-health improvement and compaction relief

     Fall and winter forage production

Important Notes

     ⚠ Agricultural forage blend, NOT a residential lawn or garden: this mix is grown for wildlife and livestock forage and soil improvement, not as backyard turf.

     Seed only — not a fertilizer.

     Rotate brassica plantings between seasons to prevent brassica disease buildup.

Why Choose Old Cobblers Farm™?

Every bag of Wicked Tuff Turf seed is selected for high purity and strong germination — uncoated, with no fillers or dyes. We test for purity and germination so each bag performs consistently for farmers, land managers, and wildlife managers who expect real results.

Application Instructions

Conditions
USDA Zones: 3–9
Sun: full sun
Soil pH: 5.5–7.0; adaptable to loam, sandy loam, and clay loam; well-drained preferred

Seeding Rate
Food plots: 5–8 lb per acre
Cover crop: 6–10 lb per acre

How to Plant
Broadcast or drill ¼–½ inch deep — do not surface-sow; press or roll after broadcasting for good seed-to-soil contact. Plant mid-summer to early fall so the stand is established before hard cold. Keep the soil moist through the 3–10 day germination window (timing varies by species in the blend). For livestock, strip-graze — fence animals onto a section at a time — so both the leafy tops and the root bulbs are used efficiently. Rotate brassica plantings between seasons to limit disease buildup.

Ingredients

Multi-species forage brassica blend: Turnip, Rape, Kale, and Radish (plus other brassica species).
