I am gonna try and put in our one food plot we plant every year this weekend. I am going a different route than we ever have before biased on lots of things I have read on here. I bought a 50 lb bag of seed at the feed store the other day and 80 lbs of pellet lime. I have not done a soil test. I know I know I need to do it but honestly I just forgot with everything else going on. So what i am wondering is how much lime should i put out with no ph test? And what fertilizer should i use ? How much of the bag should I use? The stuff I am planting is: 58% wheat 24% oats 9% Rye 5% winter peas. The plot will be at the most 1/2 an acre. Thanks for any help you guys can give me !

The lime takes months to work. Basicly you will be wasting your money on the lime.

If it's a plot you plant every year, the lime is not a waste. This years plot will see very little benefit from it though. We lime when we plant because its a convenient time.
I'd use the whole bag.

I use 250-300 lbs of a blended fertilizer per acre. Don't just put one bag on 1/2 acre. It's not enough. Two bags of 15-5-10, 13-13-13, or17-17-17 would be the minimum I would put.

And 80 lbs of lime is not gonna have much effect this year or next year either. I've got a plot that is .6 of an acre, and I can't get a buggy to it. I put 40 bags of pelletized lime on it a few years ago, and it is past time to do it again. 80 lbs on a half acre is like a drop in the bucket.

Ill do 2 [/quote]Good advice. And 80 lbs of lime is not gonna have much effect this year or next year either. I've got a plot that is .6 of an acre, and I can't get a buggy to it. I put 40 bags of pelletized lime on it a few years ago, and it is past time to do it again. 80 lbs on a half acre is like a drop in the bucket. This plot it really really small. And with out a soil test I am scared to over do it so this year thats all I am going to put out. After I get a soil sample done ill go more then. Thanks for the advise!
