Fire cleared the food plot. (Pics)
About 2-3 weeks ago my hunting spot was burnt and fortunately it burned really good and hot. Look at what it did to this cottonwood stump. It's about 5 feet deep and 4 feet across. Even though it saved me time with cleaning out the stumps and underbrush, I still have a lot of dirt work to do.
How does the burn affect the PH, and soil quality? Ash is covered thick, everywhere.

They're pictures that were taken looking down into stump of a cottonwood. All the holes are where the roots were at. It's about 5 feet deep and 4 feet across. They're the only pics I have right now.

ks, Prescibed burning is done alot by wildlife agencies to help bring on regrowth of new plants and to improve the understory. Even though this wasn't a fire done for this purpose, it will do nothing but improve this area. Once you have cleared out your food plot area, do a simple soil test. You can purchase a meter, or take soil samples, and take them to your local coop extensions for soil test determinations. Good Luck.....
