Clear a small pacth ,put some fertalizer on it . let it sit a couple of days and the try some differnt types to find out what will grow good in your area. Whitetail instatute has a starters sample kit that has alittle bit of all of thier products that they sell for $20 . I tried it5 years ago and it worked great in my area. not everything in the kit worked but I found out what worked for me. It cost me $20 plus a cheap chain saw ,a rake , hoe and lots of grease for my elbows. You dont need 1 acre lots cleared. I did 10 ft by 20 ft spots to start ad got bigger over the next couple years. I still by a starters kit every year. Works great.
