So once I get my trails all fixed up and ditched correct I will want to plant some type of plant to suck up moisture and keep from rutting it up again. It it doesn't got a ton of sunlight since it is dense tall trees adjacent and is only 5-6' wide and it runs east/west. My soils are heavy poorly drained clays with a PH in the range of 5.3-5.5. I will hire one of the neighbors to mow it. I would prefer it not be a desirable food source as I would rather not run into deer while heading to my stand. We are talking about 5/8- 3/4 mile of trails right now.
This is what my trails look like.
This is worst part which I think we may need to go around when I have the dozen come in and fix it.
As you can see there are places where it is ditched nice and I have been able to not rut it up. Other areas I should of stayed off more when it was damp not knowing how bad it was going to get so quick in this clay. Live and learn. Once I get this all fixed what should I plant to stabilize and protect these trails?
