Hey-
I have 78 acres that id like to put some food plots on in Delaware County...the area is full of shale, if you dig more than a few inches you run into shale, and a bunch of it. (large, small and tiny pieces every ware) . I have two tractors, a kubota BX24 (24 hp) and a LS MT350 (50 hp) and a few implements ( 7 ft disc, 4 ft rototiller, 7 ft blade, and a 6 ft landscape rake- all came from a previous property that had great soil.). How would you guys attack this type of soil? I figure ill spray it down with herbicide, then disc it until i get some kind of seed bed- how's that sound? Also what would work for seed in this kind of soil...i was thinking for a fall plot rape, kale or radish- and for a spring plot maybe some peas or some type of spring /summer mix. Thanks for any advice- im at a loss with soil like this, but it can grow stuff and the property is full of woods and has over 20 acres of old pastures.
