I often hear guys lose all hope of growing anything when they say their plot is "sandy". All hope is not lost, you just need to plant the right seed and begin increasing the OM over time. Here are some before and after pics to show you that stuff will still grow that deer love. This was forest at the beginning of July. I had a Dozer completely strip and level it after I had cut down the big trees. The Dozer and root rake scraped off the little top soil that I had leaving sand that would make a beach goer proud. No worries. No lime or fertilizer used. I broadcasted WR at a normal rate and also a cheap mix of various other seeds I had left over after I lightly dragged the WR seed in. The first pic is after the Dozer was done. The next pic is 2 weeks after seeding. The plot is full of deer tracks. This area will eventually have some apple trees planted in it.
