I didn't have a plot this year, but I would have let it go, One thing that I forgot to mention was always add plenty of fertilizer and lime. My last plot looked a little weak because I didn't put enough. On fall plots I try to plant at least 1 1/2 - 2 months before first frost

I pulled a disk with my G16 once. It had rained 2 days before so the ground was plenty soft. It didnt give me much trouble belt wise and I was pretty impressed.

Haveing never been in Virginia is the soil there
like Ga. ... Clay and hard . Was this with a ATV harrow ?
And did you have to weight the disk down much or not.

Also to all in this thread ...

On the average , How big of a plott do you all do ?
Im not going to plant any huge ones, but small plotts
here and there real small .

It may not even be worth it for me But im interested in trying some.
Maybe by and before next fall we will pull out of this drought we are in
and realy make it worth while dunno .
I've talked to others and they didnt fair so well this year with thiers
and put Lime out and Fert. Seed and because of the lack of water they
were very sparse...
Id rather put in food plotts then to put feeders , just seems more
lodgical and ethical to Hunt.
I have never hunted over either in 45 + years of deer hunting
but figured Id try it for the 2008 -09 season .

Plus I would like to get the deer healthy and produce some
bigger ones if possible .

Thanks guys ,
BCW

I usually plant about .5-1 acres, try it out, it is a pretty fun project and if done properly and will help the deer population, I haven't had alot of success with it due to time restraints, but I just bought a few acres and hope to turn it into deer heaven. Small plots are good for hunting, big plots are better for growing. If you have a choice build a plot next to where you are planning on hunting, pick a tree for a stand or build a blind next to it.

I am sure you could do it, depending on disk, but it will be hard on it. My disk was turned in and not adjustable. It jumped around alot. A higher priced adjustable disk with wheels may be easier to pull.

Thanks buddy,
This is what I plan, but smaller ... like 1/4 acre to .5
Is there any way to calculate the lime and fert and seed
for a project this small that you are awre of.

Im planning on a shooting house up to 10' in the air with ramp
for me to get up there with a wheelchair, but it depends on
the wood to build it with , $$$ wise .
If I cant then I'll build it on the ground.
I have a Amerastep Dog House Blind, but dont want to leave it
set up all the time ( wheather elements break it down quick )

Does anyone here have any shooting house plans
Id like to build one at least 5x5x10' long with windows and tin roof.
Got a lot to do for a guy in a wheelchair LOL
But this part of what makes it exciteing

BCW, Contact the County Extension office in the area where your going to plant the plot and have them do a soil sample for you. You'll just need to tell them what your planning on planting and they'll tell you exactly what amounts of lime and fertilizer you'll need. You'll probably need to get the lime down pretty soon because it takes a several months to work. Once it gets closer to planting time, then you will want to put the fertilizer down.
I've got about 1ac I plant. Luckily, my property is surrounded by farms so I just get the farm coop stop by and spray the plot with Roundup when he's doing the farm fields around me. I usually spread the fertilizer myself but I get the coop to put the lime down. They do it with a truck and is WAY cheaper than me buying bags and spreading it myself. I forget how much lime was required last time I had the soil test but it was at least one ton. It only cost about $40 for the lime from the coop and they spread it for me. Buying individual bags would have been 3 times that price and I would have had to do the work.
