First of all I am in NW Wisconsin zone 3b. I have had little luck the past 3 years in having anything decent as for a food plot. Previously to this I could grow baseball size radish and turnips, in a mix of clover, and winter rye, now I am lucky if I get pea size radish and turnips. My thought is to change things up a bit, because if it isnt working, why keep trying.Last year I never planted and radish or turnips, and just went with clover, winter rye, and a little chicory. This year I want to plant radish and turnips again, but I was thinking rather than planting in late June, early July, that I would plant mid to late May, maybe adding more growing time, and getting some of the spring rains. I think the poor timing of rain is my biggest hold up the past couple years. The only other thought is I have been planting chicory with it, does chicory and radish and turnips clash somehow? My plan was to plant chicory in with the radish and turnips in Mid to late May. Any suggestions are welcome!
I have had a soil test done 2 years ago, things weren't to bad, but I amended as recommended at the time. I will be sending in a couple new soil samples next week.
