First year trying to make food plots in GT county. Soil is sandy, pine trees and old stumps abound. I'm sure it needs lime and plenty of it, probably more than I'm willing to afford.
One club member says he plants soybeans and does nothing to the soil other than disc. They get 3in tall and the deer mow it down. Plants again when it gets gone and continues into November he said.
I need not the suggestion to get a soil sample, etc., As this is leased land and in 2 weeks it may become a clear-cut and all money/ effort wasted. A Google search says forage oats and wheat do good in low PH soil.
Anybody have success planting in low pH soil anything a deer likes to eat? Any similar situations? Corn is king on this property but looking for that extra Trump card.
