[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5868176, member: 17"] A couple of pictures of what good mulch, and appropriate levels of lime and fertilizer, can do for [B]terrible[/B] soils plots. The first picture is a food plot made from a powerline right-of-way. The first picture was taken late last September. The plot had seen no rain since it had been mowed in early August. And the plot had not yet been seeded. However, the mulch from mowing had allowed old crimson clover seed lying dormant in the soil to germinate, despite having no rain. This year, we did not till the plot. We just mowed and sprayed, leaving the mulch alone to do its thing (hold in soil moisture). About the same time, we had spreader trucks deliver and spread the exact amount of lime and fertilizer soil tests called for. The plot had received some lime and fertilizer in the past, but considering we were doing it with bagged lime and bagged fertilizer from a seed spreader, we could never get enough down. The second picture was taken today and shows how much the crimson clover has grown this year. The black oval in the first picture is where the second picture was taken today. We have NEVER had crimson clover grow like this. [/QUOTE]
