will 1 bag of the 0-0-60 be enough for 1/2 acre plots? To know exactly how much you need we would have to know your CEC value and your base saturation rates......but adding 1 bag will put you in a lot better place than you are now. Is this really sandy soil? Yes it's really sandy, I'll have to look at my soil samples tomorrow

Yes it's really sandy, I'll have to look at my soil samples tomorrow If its really sandy then you have a low CEC.....or low nutrient holding capacity. Just go with the one bag right now. Once you start building more organic matter in the soil then your holding capacity will increase. Test this field at the end of the summer and lets see how things look then. It would be good to do after the lime you added anyways.

Joe.... Heres another good video that's only a couple minutes long. Notice the diverse cover crop that hes growing in the background. This is the same thing that Im replicating in my test field you see here in this thread. Heres something to think about too.We as food plotters have an advantage over the farmer in this type of system. The reason being is that the farmer actually has to grow a cash crop with one of his rotations. We as food plotters can simply grow one diverse cover crop after anothersummer, winter.summer, winter..So where as they may fuel a field of corn off their diverse winter cover crop to sell at market.we can simply fuel a diverse summer cover crop which will then fuels the winter cover crop and so on. First though you have to get things turned around and your soil up and running properly. This takes some time and patience. Its like taking a piece of property thats had the hell shot out of it and implementing mature buck management goals. It takes time to change but with patience and proper management youll see things gradually get better and better. Short Cover Crop Video

Grant drills everything no-till. Know him well and have been to his place several times. Never heard him speak of the ole mow & throw method. He convinced me to start no-till drilling Then you need to tell him someone has hacked into his videos and inserted his twin using a hand spreader to broadcast seed. He ain't even mowin'....just throwin'

With all my plants up 8-12" and having done my first round of fertilizer two weeks ago would y'all throw the second round down now? I won't be able to do it next weekend so I was gonna go ahead and hit them now.
Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!

I won't be able to do it next weekend so I was gonna go ahead and hit them now. That's what I'm about to do. Looks like we may have some better rain chances coming back in to the forecast next week. I'm going to wait until Sunday just to make sure the weather guessers still feel the same and then hit it with some N....

I planted some watermelons in my cutover two years ago. The deer didn't let them get big enough to do chit.

I had some okra in my mix last year as well and it got hammered just the same. Im starting to build up some false hope that I might be able to get out ahead of the browsing pressure this year but it usually seems to happen over night so Im not going to hold my breathe just yet. If we get some rain next week though and I get this dusting of N down.look out, we may have something.

Still holding pretty good soil moisture here but I'll take the rain for sure. Today is 3 weeks to the day since planting and some of the first buckwheat plants to jump out of the ground are actually starting to send out some blooms already. That stuff grows fast!

My test field is 2 acresIm now adding 17 units of N to the field or 50 lbs/ac of 34-0-0 in order to give a little gas to my engine. My K levels are 155 right now and even though the test is not calling for any.Im going to be a little proactive and mix in 25 lbs/ac of 0-0-60 anyways. Very small amounts of fert. Ive decided to do a little experiment over the next year with my Ca additions. Last year I brought in 4,000 lbs of Ca per acre like the soil test recommended. After one year my Ca has went up 700 lbs per acre on the soil test. To me that seems like some very inefficient chit going on there. Over the next year Im going to add Ca in much smaller doses and see what happens comparatively. Bring on the next round of H2O..
