RE: So what have you learned about foot plots?
Lime, lime, and more lime
Roundup once a month all summer in the worst weed patches. Those places will get winter plots.
Chicken litter is incredible fertilizer
Rain,no need to plantwithout it.
Grandaddy's antique Planet Jr. doesn't waste a seed, plants a path,shooting lane, or a plot, and gives one heck of a workout pushing it. No wonder he was fit in his 90's!
Of all the expensive seed I've tried, soybeans during the summer and oats during the winter work best here.
