These Durana plots have not been the easiest to establish on my farm i bought a year ago. These were freshly cleared feb 2021. Soil test indicated 5.5Ph and needed some P&K as well. So far ive dumped 1500lbs of pellet lime on one plot (1/2 acre) and 500lbs (1/3 acre) on the other. Frost seeding failed last year and was full of weeds. Sprayed , mowed and did a fall planting of durana with winter rye. Rye grew 4-5" and then pretty much died. Clover was showing signs of life. Did another frost seeding early feb. Appears to be working much better this time. These pics are from yesterday. Nice carpet of clover. I pulled a cultivator through part of the plots prior to frost seeding. Looking much better and the lime and fertilizer should be starting to improve the soil somewhat by now.
