I don't know why it took so long, but here is a picture from this spring, standing on the back of the WD while my boy disked up our food plot. Don't know why, but this picture really strikes me as beautiful. Maybe its because I know where we've put the turkey blinds and the deer stands in the woods around here, and all the memories we've made and have yet to make, or maybe its just cause the world looks a little better when viewed over the hood of an Allis. You decide.

Great pic.  If you have a chance, it would be nice to see it now that it has grown in.  And, if you are lucky enought to "harvest" a deer or 2, share that too.

Its one acre, we used to rent it with the rest of the land, but with machinery getting bigger and bigger, and the mud hole at the entrace getting wider every year as they tried getting back there, my brother kind of just took it over and now we have a place to do all our "toy farming".
 
He plowed it under, dad disked a few times, then I put 2000 pounds of lime on by hand. Spreading lime by shaking 50 pound bags off the back of a trailer pulled by a six year old with a twitchy throttle foot is a little tough. We may need to invest in a lime spreader next...
 
 
Disked it in, dragged it a few times, not sure what brand disk that even is.
 
 
 
For some odd reason, the east end didn't grow, and thats way to small to hardly turn the WD around in, good thing I have garden tractors and implements for just such tight spaces.
 
 
 
 
 
 
We seeded that end down with Honey Hole food plot mix. I will have to take a picture next time I'm up there cause its growing really good and the deer are keeping it mowed pretty good!

Hey Joe, Soil get acidic after a time and lime naturalizes the acid in the soil. That is why regular soil tests are important. It tells you what is needed to keep the soil in balance for the best crops. People that use wood chips for bedding and spread it on fields will need more lime as the wood chips use up the lime in the composting cycle.

Lime is spread to raise the soil PH if a soil test shows excess acidity.

I love the pictures also. To me fresh fit soil is as beautiful as a picture of a lake or sunset.

It adjusts the pH of the soil, we test it every year and we usually wind up throwing one ton on every year, we rotate alfalfa, soybeans, and corn, depending on what's planted around us. Its kind of neat to see the equipment we've accumulated over the years for our farming adventures. I got a Case grain drill from a scrapper for $100 (his wife wanted to plant flowers in it) brother got a two row JD corn planter for a case of pop, got a flail chopper and a brush hog along the way, this stuff kind of sneaks up on you....

OK,,,that makes sense. I have heard that wood ashes are good for putting on rose bushes, fruit trees etc,,,Since I smoke a lot of meats,,I have quite a lot of ashes,, mostly apple, pecan, and mesquite. I have I big Pecan tree, apricot tree, several rose bushes and 3 big pine trees, I've always wondered bout putting those ashes on them,,but never knew for sure and certainly don't want to harm them,,,,
