[QUOTE="DoubleRidge, post: 5487736, member: 20594"] Check out some of Dr Grant Woods videos on small hidey hole food plots. On one of the videos he mentions leaves, thick thatch, etc. Being in a remote location he will burn off the plot which returns the nutrients to the soil and exposes the soil for the next crop. One good thing about small plots like this is you can bag lime them with pelletized lime and if your going to choose between lime and fertilizer go with lime and consider adding cereal rye and winter wheat for a fall plot. Cereal Rye handles poor soil quality and will still grow well and both the cereal rye and wheat will be green through winter. Be prepared though, if you have high deer density, many times these small plots will get mowed down....but the shorter answer to your question is yes there's hope, lime it and increase the seed rate well above the recommended rate then sow before a rain, you can grow green plots that the deer will use.
