Putting in a small food plot
CP:
I’ve never done before but I’m considering cleaning up this logged off piece of land and planting it in clover or something that might attract the local wildlife. This opening gets several hours of sunshine daily, not sure how good the soil is. I’m no farmer but how hard could it be?
Jonathan_S:
You'll want to know what kind of soil you have. Check around for a place/person who might do a cheap PH test. Secondly read up on drainage requirements and sun requirements.
Of course none of this is necessary but it'd help you pick the right plant(s) for better results.

Cheap and easy way to do it:
Transplant some young alders along the edges, and maybe a few vine maples. Throw some clover mix in the middle and hang a couple bird feeders.
We tried that at my buddy's property and he had quite a few critters hanging around all year.
Good luck

Plant clover. It doesn't need much sun and grows good. The deer love it. I have a similar small clearing on my property. I planted clover, barley, turnips, beets, and a cover crop mix. It's all growing good.

Clover is your friend. Some elbow grease and you will have a nice plot soon. :tup:
