[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5100868, member: 17"] Mega, All my valleys are "V"-shaped. Steep hill straight down to a stairstep rock creek, then straight back up the other side. I have one very narrow long flat valley bottom, and I have a 150 yard by 15 yard food plot in it. Awesome soil too! When it comes to no-tilling, it would be very interesting to find out whether or not the hardpan reforms if I stop tilling a plot annually. I have no idea, but worth an experiment. I hear you on the well-timed rains. Luckily my schedule allows me to work food plots when I need to, and I try and time my tilling and planting to within 2-3 days after a good rain so the soil is moist, then I need a good rain 2-4 days after planting to germinate the seed. Hard to find that combo. Two years ago, waiting for that combination of events to plant my fall plots meant I didn't get them in until mid-October. I was lucky last year in that we had some good, closely spaced rains in August and I got everything in during that period. Best plots I've ever had. [/QUOTE]
