I have bought 10 (1/2 acre) bags of biologic "outfitter's blend" to plant several food plots with. Each plot will probably be one acre in size. I have not soil tested or limed. I'm trying to decide what steps I should take to make my planting as successful as possible considering these important steps I have skipped. Should I use one of those instant soil samplers, lime as needed, and then wait a week or so before planting? Can you lime directly before or after seeding while the ground is tilled or will that effect the seed? I have the seed and plan to use it this year but just would like to know my best options at this point. Does anyone have an rough estimate of how much and the best lime to use for my area? I will be planting in Jackson county (northeast) Alabama and Hamilton county (southeast) TN. Thanks in advance for any advice. I'm new to planting.
