Spreading Lime to Raise the PH of our Food Plots
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 жов 2024
- We're back to working on our food plots after we were unsuccessful with the buckwheat this summer. We're going to plant winter wheat again for the fall, but we want to give the ground some nutrients, more so for the spring when we put in our cover crop.
It hasn't rained in quite some time and the ground is super hard and dry. Our plan was to break it up before putting down the lime, but we quickly switched gears after realizing we don't have the proper equipment for these conditions and honestly, it's not necessary right now.
Thanks for following along as we fumble through all of this and learn together!

Brothers working the land together is amazing to see. Hope you get rain for your fields. I enjoy your videos.👍❤️🇨🇦
Thank so much!
Hi Devon and Ryan, hope that the PH soaks into the soil with it being so dry. Once you get some rain hopefully the soil will loosen up a little. That made for some good video footage with Ryan riding on the back for some extra weight. Wishing you the best with more success with your Food Plots this year.
Thanks Ben!
Hoping you have some good rain for your food crop fields pretty soon
Thank you! We hope so too!
It’s always something out in the fields. I agree with your liming first. Then (it will rain again lol) when you see 3-4 days of rain in front of you get that seed on the ground. Good work guys and good luck with your fall plots!
Thanks! Do you think we let it rain on the lime, then seed it before the next rain?
@@OurNewLand the lime will take a while to break down, even pelatized lime, so don’t try and time seed planting to it. It doesn’t amend the soil quickly. You’ve got some lime down, that’s great and that will help you for 2-3 years (I like to lime every 3-4 years based oj soil samples). So, just focus your seed on the rain ahead and get it out once you see a wet pattern. Good luck!
It is so good to see both of you!!! I can't wait to get caught back up on your videos!
Thanks, Kris! We really appreciate you watching. I hope your awesome family is doing well!
Hey y’all! Man, it’s good seeing y’all working together. Hope you get some rain soon.
Thank you so much. Looking forward to cooler weather!
It's amazing how this video is also educational.
Great capturing your time there
Thank you much!
Hey Devon and Ryan! Oh growing buck wheat sounds awesome! Bummer on your second planting though. Our grass is so dry here. We all need rain so bad.
I know, I hope we all get some soon!
You guys bring so much joy to my day! Praying for rain and for great success for your food plots!!
Thanks so much!
Hi Devon and Ryan, greetings from Tasmania, love see you to brother's working hanging out together, good luck with the lime hope it does it job, you should both get out in the field and do a rain dance haha might work, bless you both and your families.🙏👍❤️🌈
Thank you very much, Lynda Louise! Tasmania - wow!
Great video and hope you all are doing well! 😊❤
Ah, thanks Tammy!
I'm sending in soil samples today to see if the lime and nutrients we added helped. We will be planting clover and chicory in the front plot, and then a blend of beans, peas, hemp, radish, rapeseed, sunflowers and buckwheat in the other two plots (one of which is a new plot). We are excited for what the future holds for us on these plots!
I've got a small chisel plow attachment for my tractor that would be perfect for that. Nice to see you both. Hope you get some rain. We had a dry winter here.
That would certainly help! I just ordered two S tines to attach to our silly disc plow. I'm hopeful that will help dig into the ground a bit. We've been getting rain the last few days (finally!!!), so that should help. I hope you're doing well, buddy!
I hope you guys got some rain by now. I hope your food plots are doing well.
Thanks for watching! We loads of rain, finally. The food plots are looking great, mainly from the winter wheat. We can see that the clover is blanketing the areas where we planted it, but the individual clovers are still very tiny. My chestnut seeds should be here soon, and I have you to thank for inspiring me to try to grow trees from seeds! Thanks again!
@@OurNewLand where did you get your seeds from?
@@MySliceOfHeavenoutdoorsWe got them from Chestnut Ridge of Pike County.
awesome work
Hey there, Sadie! We're trying to improve the soil on the food plots, but it's been a tough summer with the drought and high temps. We're finally getting rain this week, and I've ordered some S tines to attach to the rinky dink disc plow. Hopefully that will help break up the soil a bit. Thanks for watching!
hopefully. be safe @@OurNewLand
New subscriber. came over from misty's channel. hello
Thanks a ton, Gray Man! I’m glad you’re here!
Should say, hope the Lime soaks into the soil to bring up the PH in the soil.
We're finally getting some good rain! Whoop!
A lot of work, but well worth it. Maybe add leaves & clean straw, to build humus to hold moisture and increase the soil quality. A winter top crop will help.
Thanks for watching! We keep crops on it year-round. Summer is the tough season here, as you well know. We need rain!
Hi Devon and Ryan, hope all is well as you haven't had new video in awhile. Congratulations Devon on the 102,000 views on your video about how your Adoptive parents and family reacted to you meeting your Birth family.
Hey there, Ben! Thank you for thinking of us. We're both doing great, and have been getting quite a bit of work done at the property. I (Devon, older brother) worked there four days last week, mainly on several of the deer food plots and making good progress on our rainwater collection system. We get so much more work done when we're not having to think about setting up cameras, but even that isn't a good excuse. I did actually record a few minutes of building the platform for our water storage tanks, but I'm not sure if it will even be used.
On the adoption videos, that silence is all on me. The 6 videos we have planned are all dependent on me, and I've really dropped the ball on it. I will get goin again soon, though! I hope to put out a video in the next two weeks that will discuss our goals for the coming months, concerning the property and the adoption videos.
Ryan and I will be spending this weekend with our sister's husband at their property.
We very appreciate your support and all of your kind words on our previous videos. Thank you so much!
@@OurNewLand Can definitely understand your point of getting more accomplished without having to worry about setting up a camera and narrating the videos. Film when you can and hope you and Ryan have a great weekend with family.
😎
Thanks for watching, Andre!
Also in Oklahoma and use a spring plow then disk.
We’re slowly figuring it out and learning. You can only watch and read so much. Really takes getting out there and doing it.
Totally agree! I have been at it for a few years so if I can help in any way just let me know. Good luck and good hunting!@@OurNewLand
come to support, thank you for sharing interesting videos, I like your content, keep up the good work, always success for all of us
