🚨DISCLAIMER🚨 The first step of every successful food plot program is taking a soil sample and amending the recommendations accordingly.
Creating a small, in woods food plot does not always have to be an overwhelming and expensive task. And you for surely don't need expensive equipment.
In this video, I break down the steps I've used over the last 10 years to create small, secluded kill plots on the Proving Grounds!
Be sure to watch this video all the way through to the end. You don't want to miss a single thing I have to share.

Step 1 - Get a soil sample analyzed. Step 2 - Mow or weed whack. Step 3 - Spray with just gly, no 2-4D or burning needed. Step 4 - Amend with proper amount and type of mineral lime and either organic or synthetic fertilizer. Step 5 - Broadcast buckwheat around 7/1. Step 6 - Broadcast highly diverse seed blend into standing buckwheat around 8/15. Steps 2 through 5 can all be done in a single day, if needed, but for best results leave 2-3 weeks in-between steps 2 and 3. Soil is meant to grow things. Leaving it totally bare is actually a bad idea, because you're also damaging the soil biota just as much, which is the opposite of what you want for really good quality food...in your food plots. Domain seed company does not offer a single blend that will create a highly diverse food plot; one that not only feeds a variety of wildlife but supports a variety of life IN your soil. Green Machine would be the start of a good blend, but should be mixed with Hot Chic to create a truly good fall food plot. Their seed is of good quality, from my understanding, but is unnecessarily expensive. You can easily get the same quality of seed from a local farmer's co-op, which is definitely the way to go if you're planting a full acre or more. If you're planting 1/4 to 1/2 of an acre, in small microplots, then the premium companies like Domain charge is probably worth it, since you avoid the process of mixing seed yourself.

2-4D for gly resistant marestail and waterhemp. Burned to get rid of heavy thatch and leaf debris. Sorry that this didn't meet your criteria. But it works for me and my clients. Just sharing my experiences.

@@EpicWhitetailHabitatLLC - Lots of different processes will work for planting a food plot. For me and my clients, I would never advocate spraying a liquid lime or fertilizer product without having a soil sample analyzed, first. Heavy thatch and leaf debris are the future organic matter in your soil. Burning it isn't a bad idea, but raking it off the surface of the plot is taking food away from the soil biota. I'm presenting options for folks who are not allowed to burn, or don't feel comfortable doing so. My comment on soil being meant to grow things is in keeping with all of the latest research and guidance on the subject. Grant Woods just put out an excellent video on this, within the last day or two. Why nuke n' pave your soil right before asking it to grow something for you?

Soil samples are always the first step in any successful food plot program, yes. Sorry I didn't include this step in the video.
