This is my first year of truly doing a food plot from start to finish. This area finished being timbered last September. just enough time for me to throw some winter wheat and rye down and hope for the best. Needless to say, that didn't do very good. I did a soil test and realized my pH was at 5 1/2 and I was low on most everything else. I put the lime, potash, and phosphorus to it in early February. I've run a disc over it twice and a drag once. It's roughly a half acre in size. I'll be spreading a mixture of chicory and clover as soon as the next rain. Give me your thoughts and opinion because, as I said, this is my first time and I'm always willing to listen

add a bag of wheat to your seed. it will sprout quickly and help protect the young clover. It will also help hold the soil and keep it cool and actually preserve moisture. spread a variety of clovers to improve your stand. one variety may thrive where another struggles. include a cool season clover like balansa, a standard like ladino and a dry season like arrow leaf. you should hold the ladino till this fall with some more wheat and maybe some pell lime.
