Food plots

Future deer groceries. Prolly won’t plant till the first week of August, just buying it while it’s available.

 

Do you till or just scratch the surface ?

 

Planted this 10 days ago in 2 different areas. One is doing well, the other's been hammered already.

 

I disc my plots then use a cultipacker to make a firm seed bed then cultipack again after I spread the seed.

 

Getting ready!

 

This makes me sad- my dad had a 560

 

Good tractors!

 

All the rain has flooded out one of my plots but it doesn't seem to be slowing down this guy.

 

Planted 2 food plots yesterday and 1 today.

 

Going to get in the woods with the chainsaw this week and expand my food plot area . If the weather cooperates I will also try and get some lime down .

 

Finally expanded the food plot . Everything by hand . Chain sawed
about another 10 small size trees . I have no way of stumping so they are staying . Biggest tree about thigh size . Cut up and stacked for future removal for firewood . Drug all the tops off . Hand raked and used a leaf blower . Total estimated area is 100’ by 45’ wide . My whole body hurts Spread 160 pounds of lime today .

 

Clover for this spring .
Hot Spot I’m sending back because the sticker with test date is the second one on the bag and I can not see a test date . Probably old

 

Did some plot stuff today . Scratched the surface again by dragging my lawn thatcher around . Hand raked and put down some seed and 10-10-10 . Had a visitor also !

 

Got this for $12 because there was a small hole in the bag . It say to till the soil ,hope some of it grows . I need a tiller for my quad .

 

This

 

@Harry2015 thanks again. I just need to figure out how to keep weight on the disc . I broke one cement block and about 5 bungee cords .
Put down some more lime today . Disc the pelletized lime in along with fertilizer. Rain on the way today so I threw down the pulverized lime . I won’t be putting seed down until around May 5 . So I have time to keep working the soil as long as it doesn’t interfere with my turkey hunting

 

Pulled the trigger on this last night !

 

Tore up a couple hundred feet of logging road and added 100# lime yesterday.

 

Getting some much needed rain for the plots

 

Got the logging road plot finished last week . Put down some Biologic ( Mossy Oak) clover and chicory mix with some 13-13-13 . This rain is just what it needs
