Hunt club out of Vidalia Ga. We had some new food plots pushed up this year along with several existing. Most plots have PH right at 5. Couple new ones at 4.8. We put out 18 tons of lime last weekend and rotovated it in with 1/2' of rainfall. We would like to plant right round the 1st weekend of Oct (rain?).
Does anyone have suggestions on the best plants that might have a chance with a ph of 5? (I've read that in extreme cases the ph can move quite a bit in first few weeks..so maybe a bit of help?)
Second question..Fertilize. Given that the 5 ph plots won't be able to use maybe 60-70% of the fert, do we go with the recommended amounts on UGA soil test?
We had pretty terrible results last year, might not be much better this year but would like any input or suggestions that might help this as well as next year. We do have a couple food plots in the mid 5's and one right at neutral. Thanks in advance for any ideas to help us produce the best plots possible. We sure could use it.
