Too wet to lime
I had a lime truck coming to spread 6tons lime for our spring food plot. The driver showed up, and said its too wet out to even attempt spreading my plot area. There's a downhill grade to the area, and he feared he wouldn't be able to drive back out. Even though we've had the local propane truck in there, and a Lime truck in 3yrs ago. I guess it wasn't as wet 3 yrs ago, but the ground is a solid hard packed base right to the plot area. I guess I can understand is concern. He says he'll see me in late spring/summer. Well so now I'm at let it go another yr, and plant in spring of 2008. I like to let the lime work its way into the soil over the winter months.Or does anyone think it'll be ok to do a fall planting in August. But I'm also afraid if I plant that late the deer will hammer it, and it'll not get the start it should. I was planning on planting Alfa rack, or clover. My soil test called for 4 tons acre for alfalfa. What do some of you more knowledgeable ones think. August plot or wait until spring of 08. I alreadly have a 1 acre clover plot in same general area now thats getting hit hard the past 2yrs.
