[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5020079, member: 17"] Because lime takes a while to completely activate in the soil, I would consider spreading some this spring. Elbon rye is a winter cereal grain hence it is planted in fall. It can grow 36-40" tall by the following spring. That's a lot of biomass to fall into the soil once it dies back in late spring or early summer. Rye grass works (it too will grow anywhere), but it is not as preferred by deer as Elbon rye. When I first break ground on a new food plot, the soil takes a couple of years of working before it will grow what I really want. To help condition the soil, I usually plant Elbon rye for a couple of years. I've had very good results with the "Wintergrazer" variety. [/QUOTE]
