I plant most of my plots in the woods. Most times I can not get any thing in to work the area. Everything is hand carried into it.

What I have found that will make a good plot in the woods with cover of leaves from trees is to pick a spot that the sun will run across and add as much sun light as possible. The sun travels from the east to the west and keep in mind it moves in the Southwarddirection the closer to fall it gets.

When looking for your spot find a place that is opened in the top from east to west and always plant on the North side of the openings. This way the sun will make it through to the area over the season.

When planting in the woods , I would not take a chance at a place that has no froage all ready growing. Pick a spot that has lots of weeds or ground growth on it. They are growing because they like the soal and location. Just pick out as open as possible. I have great luck with planting in these areas...
