The blend centers on forage peas and companion legumes that deliver a meaningful protein window and a robust, palatable forage that can help sustain wildlife health through the hot months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a typical protein range of 25–30% from the peas and legumes, the mix offers nutrition that may support energy needs for breeding, lactation, and fawn development. It is engineered to perform when soil temperatures climb past 65F, helping you maintain high quality forage where it matters most. The variety tolerates drought and heat, making it suitable across sandy to medium heavy soils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePerformance and Soil Health\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn field conditions, Summer Slam can yield a substantial amount of biomass, helping to create thick forage and cover that benefits grazing deer and provides habitat for birds. Expect roughly 3,000–4,000 pounds of biomass per acre under favorable conditions, contributing to both forage availability and soil protection by reducing erosion and enabling nutrient cycling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blend recycles nutrients and improves soil health, turning worn plots into more resilient habitats over time. For weed management, Arrest MAX is approved for grass control within the mix, helping maintain a balanced sward and encourage the desired mix of legumes and grasses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is in the Mix\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVetch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlyce Clover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Summer Slam Stands Out\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to deliver continuous high quality forage through the hottest months, Summer Slam helps transform a property into a summer deer magnet.
