Fall Plot..fertilizer amounts

[Washtub]

This is our latest soil sample as of this weekend and this is what we plan on planting. This is a first year plot. I was also going to throw a little more clover on top and cultipack in. This is going on a 1/4 acre food plot.

Can someone tell me what type of fertilizer and how much to put down on this 1/4 acre plot when we go to plant? Would prefer to get a fertilizer that is pretty much available at most feed and seed type stores.


Thanks

Based on your test If is truly 1/4 acre I would put 150 lb of 19-19-19. You can get it at Athens Seed for about $22 a bag. If you are going to have a spreader on-site I would go ahead and add a few bags of pellet lime too.

Thanks! I found a place in Loganville(close to where I live) selling it for $15.50/bag.

That is a good price. Boss Brothers ??
They should have the lime for about $4 a bag

I live about 11 miles from Boss Brothers. But I work about 1/2 mile from Athens Seed so I shop there more

Use UGA’s website. Put the size of the plot and the recommendations from the soil test and it will show you the best fertilizer to put down.
