Logging road ideas
Kind of new to the food plot thing but I have a number of logging roads on my property. They arent completely shaded but they certainly wont get hours of sunlight everyday. Can you give me some ideas for what to plant on a logging road, something fairly shade tolerant. Thanks guys.

RE: Logging road ideas
Find the patches of road that run north to south. You should get the most sun exposure on them. Fertilize, Don't over fertilize. The limited hours of sun will not allow the plants to utilize it and weeds will take over. If planting clover I would not use any nitrogen at all. just use a zero-10-5 or a zero 10-10 If you can cut some trees down along the road side that would help also get some light in there. Look for natural browse that you can fertilize also.
