re: Planted summer plots today

So we started with a complete kill of the foot plots and soil samples. We applied the proper lime the first year to have a base. Drilled the Fall Release seed blend. We did apply some fertilizer that year late to help get the max out to the food plots. The first spring you drill the Summer Release seed blend. You drill straight into the the standing cereal rye and whatever grasses are present. After a week or 2 your take your crimper and crimp the entire plot. The cereal rye will lay down like a mat or mulch as he calls it. You just repeat the process using a drill and crimper 2x a year. The basic premise is the weed seed don’t have enough energy to break that mat/mulch layer. As for fertilizer he calls it the Buffalo process where the animals using plots pee,poop, die. The mat/much/thatch decompose turning your dirt into soil. It can be hard to follow the plan early because you will see weeds and it will drive you crazy but the longer you stick with it the better the fields look.
