A mix of turnips and moisture tolerant clover species, this blend can survive where others can’t
So many times we see people letting low spots or moist areas go un-planted because they think there’s nothing they can grow there. That’s just not the case.
This blend of moisture tolerant species can do well in areas too wet for other plantings.
Turnips and specially selected clover species hand picked to tolerate extra moisture can allow you to plant where other plots have failed.
Now it isn’t magic so don’t expect it to grow underwater but it can definitely open up moist areas for planting that many other species can’t tolerate. If you've got a wet plot pick up some Soggy Bottoms this year and give it a try, you might just open up some new ground that you never thought you'd be able to get a good plot on.

Turn wet ground into a plot
That soggy low spot? It's a food plot waiting to happen.
Too many hunters leave low, wet areas unplanted thinking nothing will grow there. Not true. Soggy Bottoms is a blend of turnips and hand-picked moisture-tolerant clovers built to thrive where other plots drown.
It's not magic — don't expect it to grow underwater — but a low spot that stays damp is right in its wheelhouse. Got a wet plot? Give it a shot and open up ground you never thought you could use.

Dead simple to plant
Three steps for wet ground
1
Prep the seedbed
Disc, till, or plow — or go no-till and just rake/lightly expose the soil. Then smooth and firm it down.
2
Sow the seed
Small seed — don't bury it. Spread it right on the firmed, smoothed soil; ¼" is perfect.
3
Press it in
Cultipack or drive over the plot to press the seed into the soil for good seed-to-soil contact. That's all it needs.

Recently bought wetlands in Wisconsin and thought it was worth a shot. Planted 3 weeks ago in the only spot thats not standing water, but its still basically like walking on a wet sponge. It's coming in great he deer havent left it alone since it started sprouting.
I was skeptical at first, but after seeing the seed germinate and growing in soaked soil I’m a true believer in soggy bottom. Wasn’t long after planting before the deer were hitting the new growth. Now that I know it works well in wet loamy soil I will plant in other spots that I neglected to plant.
48 hour exposure of growth without rain, but had unprecedented heat and humidity for northern Wisconsin. I should have done a better job packing after planting. Was obvious where ATV tracks were compared to roller. Better seed to soil contact would have eliminated the stripes.
I planted the soggy bottom on July 5th, this plot is a first time trial and so far I couldn’t be happier with the results. With that being said this plot is 1-1/2 miles back in the middle of a cedar swamp and is very hard to access with any large equipment or any equipment at that. The area it’s planted in has a chance of sitting in water for a few days if we get larger amounts of rain but so far that hasn’t been an issue. Keep up the good work and great customer service 👍
Love this mix, had trouble with other brands growing in this spot. Bought a soil test kit did what it said, and had an amazing turnout. Would definitely recommend.
Came in fast and full. Hadn't seen turkeys for months now i have 15 come in every day with ton of deer. Will be using this next year. I planted in late September n it came in great. Next year I will plant the 3rd week in August and expect a bit more growth than this year!! Customer Service is Excellent.
The seed grew up beautifully and all within 2 week bucks, does, and turkey are eating from it several times daily. I will continue to use this product. Customer Service is Excellent.
Planted a small food plot in a wet bottom area that I couldn’t till. I good only weed-whack it real low and then seeded with Soggy Bottom. After brief rain I already have clover sprouting and already the deer are hitting it! Def going to plant this again next year if I get the same results!
Planted in my river bottom acerage. We have been in drought since then but the product came up and seems to be thriving! Deer are walking through the clover every morning
I have a plot that’s always wet. This year is dry but this ground is still moist. Seed came up quick and is growing great. I’m impressed. Only negative I can say is the turnips seem to be grouped in several areas not evenly spread out. Maybe I needed to mix it before planting
Everything germinated in a normal time frame. We received a lot of rain, so what was dry, pre seeding, has now returned to small standing water spots like it normally is. There is good growth everywhere right up to the standing water spots.
I just got my soil tests in a month and a half or so after planting Soggy Bottoms. Soil tests reveal a 4.9ph and nitrogen and phosphorus deficiencies. You couldn’t tell it by looking at the plot. I have nearly knee high turnips and a thick understory of clover. It is out pacing the adjacent plots of other mixes 2:1. This stuff is the real deal.
