I realize I have waited to long to do this but that is beside the point now. I am planting small plot of rye in a wooded area that lies beside a creek. In extreme rain (ivan) this area floods and as a result there is a sandy consistancy to the soil. I have not had a ph test done, but was wondering if there is a basic pattern that runs with different types of soil. For example do sandy soils usually require lime/fertilizer/more water/etc. This is a heavily shaded area will this effect things. Are there other types of vegetation that may work better/same. The land I hunt has no fields/open areas that can be planted. Any thoughts suggestions are appreciated. I live in GA if that matters.

Thanks in advance
