Default RE: Food Plots????

you just answered your own question - it didn't grow because you didn't do things "right" - don't blame the product if it wasn't planted correctly
with that said, with an kind of planting their are going to be risks, you can only do things (lime, planting options, maintainance, etc.) that help to minimize those risks and even if you do everything "right" you may still have poor results - "sh*t happens" as does mother nature

you need to get better advice - lime (if not incorporated into the soil) takes roughly 6 months to become effective

pH for clovers should be at least in the mid to high 5s; best to be in the low-mid 6s
