Default RE: SUNLIGHT??

Expect minimum this year - and anything more will be a bonus.

Extreme is basically a hi tech "weed" plot - it will grow some in filtered light - but some of the varieties in the plot will be thin.

Its hard to say for sure - but if your plot is 100 x 100 ft or less in a 30yr+ woods - then it will be thin. If its a full acre - then its a different story. If the plot is small - start thinking about a full acre+ down the road - you don't have to do it all in one year - and you can learn from experience along the way.

It all comes down to what you want from the plot - if you want a "candy plot", then 100 x 100 in filtered light might do the trick, especially if farm crops are not readily available. If you want to attract, and provide a food source the deer will come to again & again- then you need to think in terms of acres - and 8-10 hours of full sunlight.
