[QUOTE="@fulldraw, post: 5868729, member: 6122"] Just wanted to share my process for establishing my first food plot. Bought this property last spring. I don’t have access to big equipment so don’t laugh. After selecting the plot location I went in with my old lawn mower and cleared it out. It was mostly briars and small shrubs. Used the chainsaw on a few trees. Ended up being right at .3 ac. [ATTACH type="full"]220156[/ATTACH] After about a week I went in with glyphosate and broadcast buckwheat and lime. Pretty good stand with minimal weeds during the summer. [ATTACH type="full"]220157[/ATTACH] I knew the outlook for a wet fall wasn’t good. I decided to plan on planting my fall plot when the forecast predicted several days of rain at the beginning of August. I think we ended up with four days straight of rain. This pic is from Aug 1st after spraying the buckwheat/weeds, broadcasting my seed mix and mowing down the dead buckwheat. [ATTACH type="full"]220158[/ATTACH] Having several other rainy days in August helped tremendously. Here’s a pic less than a month from broadcasting. [ATTACH type="full"]220159[/ATTACH] I’ve been pleasantly surprised at the success of this plot. I wasn’t sure how it would end up but so far going well. A lot of the success comes from reading you guys’ trials and tribulations. I thank y’all for that. These next two pics you can see the growth since spring has come long.
