    Frost seed clover for fall food plots

    Throw’n Grow

    This area gets decent lighting. It’s a mix of random natural grasses and golden rod then under the pines is nothing. Could I do a throw and grow as in and have it work? Or would I have to rake it in? Trying not to disturb this area too much just trying to make it a little better.

    Soil test timing

    I like this idea. For this do I just print out the soil analysis form and mail that in with my samples? Also do I just use the Standard Soil test?

    Soil test timing

    I’m planning on doing my first plot for next season. I’m learning that testing the soil is very important. Can I take a soil sample now (in the western New York area) or should I do it closer to the time I want to plant? What do you think of whitetail institutes soil test kit or are there...
