We have 63 acres in NY's southern Catskill mts. Our land is in a valley and the soil is quite fertile. 6.8ph I have two 1/4 acre hunting plots that have Imperial Clover planted in them. This is their 3rd year of the perrenial growth. These are in the middle of a apple orchard with Blueberry bushes surrounding them. I still lime the heck out the apple trees and fertilize the berry bushes with 10-10-10. Needless to say the apple trees draw a slew of game. I have no "equipment". So all I do, is by hand. A 24" tiller, walk behind vintage Scotts spreader, a home made harrow and a quad.
Aside from planting food plots. Showing my apple trees some love(pruning, lime and water), pays big rewards.
