If i recall correctly one of my plots was about the size of yours and my Ph was in the high 5"s and i had 2 tons delivered. The 2 tons should be just fine in your application. If you can spare the extra change go with pelletized lime as oppossed to crushed white lime, saves on time, much less dust and less waste. Can get it at local agway for like 4.99 for 40lb. Bags or in your instance have it delivered in bulk and save some money. Depending on access to the plot they may even spread it for you for free or a small fee. Atleast thats what my agway offered years ago.

Did you have a soil test done? That should indicate how much lime is needed .

First determine your soil type and plot size and that will dictate how much lime you will need to get your soil up that 1 point to 7 (neutral). Your goal is to get your soil neutral for your clover however your brassicas can handle a slightly acidic soil and 6 is fine for their application.

Cool idea, talk about extreme access..lol

I agree 100 %, these kids work real hard and it shows

MLB now that would be awesome!!! My sons coach for the last 2 years is actaully the older brother of a MLB hall of famer , played for the Mets as a lefty pitcher, John Franco.

Thanks all.

No Hideki is way to stiff, but that guy can still slam a ball.

Thanks, yes was an amazing experience. Just Hideki's antorage , news reporters and how it was so professionally organized made it that much more memorable.

Just thought to share with all you baseball fans and also because im a proud dad. Heres my 12 yr. Old son who was chosen based upon his ability and grades to attend a clinic with only 17 other kids throughout NY . Clinic was held at LIU, kids spent 4 hours being trained by Hideki Matsui "Godzilla". heres a couple pictures of my boy pitching to Hideki, he also hit off of Hideki, was also interviewed by a japanese new station, and at the end Hideki signed baseballs for the kids. Last picture is of my 8 yr old who i brought along to watch. They both play travel baseball and are both lefties, so proud of them both and a great experience for all.

Oh yeah without a doubt and its stacked 2 1/2 rows deep. I have other piles of smaller size throughout the property. Gonna try to get all these piles back to the house so they can get split and stacked. Heres a side angle to give a perspective of how big that pile is, i was wielding the saw and everyone was stacking, got it all done in about 4 -5hrs.

Had a guy come in with a bulldozer and grade a road up my mountain so i can access the higher elevation of my property with my tractor, had him also open up 2 new food plots. I laid down lime, ferterlizer in those 2 new plots and planted rape and ladino clover. With the help of my young boys and my dad we cut up and stacked about 30 trees of varying size. Mowed existing food plots. Planted couple more apple trees.

Please dont say that because there are some on here that would probably try doing that...lol

By planting late into August or september your not allowing enough of a window timeframe for the seeds to germinate and establish themselves prior to the fall/winter. Its not uncommon by me in 4f to get a frost or even snow in early october. Whats worked best for me is middle to late July and plant before an expected rainfall. I lucked out this year by planting late june only because it rained but typically i wouldn't plant that early. I never go by the dates on those bags, i just go by my own planting journals and knowledge of MY area.

Typically you want to plant a broad leaf plant such as Brassicas with your clover as they will shield the clover prior to them getting established and gives the clover a fighting chance from overgrazing. A great combo is Pasja turnips (they tolerate grazing very well) along with a white Ladino clover. Cant beat that combo. Good luck

My ladino clover / rape are already a couple inches tall, but i planted mine a little early this year only because my 2 new plots were created in mid june. Typically you want to shoot for later part of July and latest first week in August.

Marlin 336 in 35 caliber.

Sitting here in my house in Brooklyn with no electricity and no gas. Called 311 and apparently there are 3000+ customers affected. We got hammered with rain, winds and lighting. Thank God it stopped.

Hope your joking? That picture cant see much other than parts of deer fur. Where are the tines?

Both are doing really well. Clover and rape germinated after 2 weeks and popping thier heads out. Can see the green clover if you zoom in to pic. Rain has really helped these plots out, prior to these plots going in the soil was very dry. Heres a picture of the larger plot. Pic. is sideways.

Done

Im very fortunate to have a stream that runs the entire length of my property and flows in even the driest/hottest times of the year. And i have multiple natural springs that leach out water from the hillside in a few spots. Very good drinking source for all critters.

Im praying for rain so bad, i just had a guy come in this weekend with a bulldozer and grade a road up my mountain and had him put in 2 secluded food plots on the upside middle of my property, one on hillside going up mountain and anothet plot put in close to the ridgetop. Have alot of money tied up in the bulldozer work, lime, fertilzer and seeds. Just pray it rains. At worst i'll loose money on the seeds. Put in 2 plots of ladino clover muxed with rape.

Very nice buck!!!

I would love to turkey hunt the spring and have done it sporadically thru the years. Go one time, skip 2 years...lol..My cabin/property is in some of the best counties for hunting turkeys that the state has to offer, but with family obligations my spring hunting is on the back burner. With 2 boys in travel baseball and a daughter in dance competion, my time is very limited. Maybe when i retire...lol
