Ok, thank you.

thank you yoderjac for taking the time to answer my questions, cause I’ve asked you a lot of questions, your responses have helped me a lot. And yes, I have clay soil that’s more along the lines of your soil, so it should be less demanding of lime, etc.

Ok, the link was helpful, when I wanted to make sure seeds would germinate, I would just throw some seeds on some dirt and wait a few days. As far as the crimson clover and WR fall plot goes, would you throw any extra fertilizer like 34-0-0 or urea on them as a small boost after they have been...

Thanks for the replies, I promise this is the last question, Since I have extra wheat and rye seeds from the last fall planting, would it do any good if I backed the buckwheat down to maybe 50lbs or less/acre and threw in a lil bit of wheat or rye? I understand that the buckwheat grows pretty...

I put in around 4,375lbs/acre of lime on October 2020, I was planning to do another soil test around October 2021. As of now it has been 6 months from the time I put on lime. the reason I’m only doing three plant species is because I’m somewhat limited. What would you recommend as other plant...

So you believe that the clover will perform better than previous years since the ph has been raised and there is more sunlight. I will admit, the very first plot I ever tried was a antler king trophy clover mix, the ph was very low, and there was near-to-no sunlight due to the canopy, and it...

I currently have all the fertilizer I need and I also have had lime in the ground for around 6 months. So I know the ph is around right and the fertilizer will not be wasted.

Yeah, I’m gonna hold back a while before I plant the buckwheat because as of now, we still have the chance of snow and plenty of frosts. As far as the clover, I have planted crimson clover and Antler kings Trophy Clover mix before but it hasn’t worked out. The clover tended to have stunted...

That’s what I’ll try, thank you for your help.

Thank you, that is what I will try. Do you think 65lbs/acre of buckwheat would be a solid stand? And also, for when I plant the fall food plot, do you think 60lbs wheat/acre, 60lbs rye/acre, and 30lbs oats/acre would be good

I primarily use these plots as fall kill plots, but the reason I’m trying to plant a spring plot is because honestly, the area around us has become severely over hunted, if I can do anything to get an edge on the next person it is worth it. Also, a lot of people around us have started clear...

Ok thank you

Yes, I am going to plant a fall crop in these plots, probably rye, wheat, and oats. I do have a little bit of buckwheat that I could throw out but I’m worried it might not get enough sunlight and it might be overgrazed. For when I plant a fall food plot, do you think 60lbs wheat/acre, 60lbs...

Hey all, it’s about a month before spring here in NC but I’m trying to go ahead and get prepared, Id like to keep food growing for the deer all year. I have two food plots both about a 1/4 acre that have been limed according to soil test. I will throw my fertilizer and seeds together. On food...

Hey all, I’m Ethan and I’m from North Carolina. I’m 14(I think the minimum age on this site is 13), but I’ve managed to get into hunting and food plotting over the past several years. I tend to have a good bit of questions about food plotting, etc, and Google has proven to not give me very good...
