RE: First time food plotter
There are several products on the market for low light plots. One is called Secret Spot. I used it one year, did not have the best of luck with it. It grew well, but the deer in my area did not seem to care for it. You may have better results, it is hard to say.
My advise to you would be to get the area cleared and sprayed for weeds. Take a soil sample and go to your local FS. After the soil sample comes back, ask them what you need to add to the soil and ask what seed they would recommend. You can bet you will at least need to lime the area and add some 10/10/10 (or higher) before planting. The FS will be able to help out with seed selection. Good luck!
