Trying to figgure out what went wrong, what I did wrong.
It's a new plot for this year, expanded old logging trail little less then a 1/4 acre I'd say. Just prior to Turkey season I put down some lime. Mid May I hit it with round-up. By the end of may I went back up with the tiller & went to town. 1st run I chewed it up then put down 80lbs of 8-8-8 w/lime. Chewed it up again. Broadcasted tecomate chicory for 1/4 acre, went over it litely with a rake to get contact.
Two weeks later some growth showing. Another week goes by and it's looking good, a little more growth. Last weekend - 1/2 gone or died out.
What the heck even? 20-30 yards away the clover plot with a litle chicory in the mix is doing fine. Back-up plan is plant winter rye month out from Archery as it may be late to replant chicory again. But, they chicory was the back up in case there's a dry spell.
