Fall Plot is in and Growing!

[1quick70]

I finally had the time to clear an area in our woods last month to plant a fall kill plot. I didn't think to take a before picture, but the first picture is after one day with a saw and moving some brush.

I did all the clearing with an ax, chainsaw and my Kubota L4060. Took me 3 or 4 evening after work to get it cleared.

Planted on 8/19, broadcasted Big Rack's Fall/Winter Extreme as it was about the perfect mix for what I wanted. Also put down 100lbs of 12-12-12 when I disc the plot.

First week saw good rain and pretty good growth!

After 2 weeks, it's really starting to fill in and get some use from the deer.

It's ADDICTING, hard work but addicting! Looks like a nice green plot. Did you get a soil test before you planted? PH is probably low since you cleared it out of the woods. You will probably need lime. Good Luck.

I ran out of time to pull a sample, as I didn't actually plan on getting to this until after season. I have one of those cheap PH meters and it's pretty close when checked against a real soil test. The woods plot came out around 6.5 so I decided to roll the dice. This isn't my first plot, but it was my first attempt at clearing spot in the trees and planting it.

Your hard work will play off on this plot. It looks great.
