Food plot soil ph question

All good suggestions.

Sulfur lowers your PH and Lime raises it. When you get your fert. try and get sulfur coated urea, that will help. Good luck, hope it all works out for you!!

It's very hard to lower the pH. Our soils are also 8.0. The best way to lower the pH is to add organic matter to the soil (i.e. planting sorghum, sun hemp, beans, etc. in the Spring), which takes time to do. We have to add nitrogen and phosphorus to our plots and disk it into the soil right before planting. We started doing fall plots two years ago and are still learning. We are buying a cultipacker to firm up the soil after we disk in the oats and wheat this year to see if it helps our plots.

Well with the good rain we got in val Verde the food plots came up. Deer are keeping them mowed down. We planted oats and wheat. It's a start with not much experience

Sulphur would help to lower PH. It could be applied in the spring and again in the fall.
