all right...........i have been reading outdoor life on food plots and wondered if this would work to make a plot
cut grass
test ph
spread roundup as needed
plow the area
disk the area
spread pellet lime and fertilizer
go over that with a chain harrow
gow over with a cultipackter
plant seed
go over agin with cultipackter
once its grown pretty well spread more fertilizer
does this sound good to you to make a good plot?
WHAT IS A GOOD SEED TO PLANT?????

How I did mine for a first time never been plowed field.
1-Plowed, turning over the sod in fall. Let it sit until next late spring- early summer. Rots the top sod.
2-Following spring Disc'd it out
3-That fall weed sprayed killing any new growth.
4-Same fall Limed whole plot, had spreader truck come in to do it.
5-Let lime work in over winter.
6-Next spring redisc'd field
7-Fertilized, and dragged it.
8-Seeded, then bed springed it
9-Used roller to pack it down.
10- The sucker grew like crazy!! I had to mow it 2x;s that first summer to keep it down.

question on food plots. is there any mixes that dont require plowing or turning over the soil? would like to try a small section to see if this would work. deer frequent the field but dont have a lot to eat. thanks
