First time planting in SE GA
Hi guys...
So my dad and I just got into a new club in SE Georgia (North of Waycross (wide-scale); or north of Nichols/south of Hazlehurst (smaller scale), or just east of Lehigh (if you live there
)). There' s a good confluence of a couple creeks there, high pines and low creek bottoms, a couple of places in the area grow watermelons and blueberries, and the club itself plants a couple of food plots (I' m not in the loop yet, so I' m not sure what they plant out there).
My dad and I are thinking of getting together a couple of little food ' patches,' and to that end, he went out and bought some stuff...
- Imperial ' No-Plow' Planting Seed, it says it has Golden Jump Start seeds and three types of clover, cereal, and granola
- some stuff called ' Secret Spot' that I can' t find a listing for anywhere.
So, good stuff or not? Is there something better for the area? And when should we plant? Thanks for taking the time!

It may not be too late to plant, but:
While planning your plot, take a few hours and read the posts on this site. You' ll find almost all the answers to your questions.
When you have read these posts, try this site for more info. (I copied this site from farmhunter' s post.)

When you have soaked up all of this info, you will have a better chance to make a successfull plot.
This is the first thing a lot of these fellows will tell you. Get a soil test!
