Dozer work yesterday and lime today. Old pine forest with a 5.0 on the ph. Soil around here seems to be around that consistently with topsoil layer removed. Powdered lime is almost immediately available to the plant and raises ph quick. Pelletized lime is like a lime concentrate, it takes less per acre than bagged powdered lime but takes months to see results. I would suggest if first time liming area I would go with powdered lime and pelletized on top or shortly after. The rain is key and I’ll wait to spread just before a rain. Great looking spot .

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

Sounds like good work. I would also say that’s not true. It takes equal amounts of pelletized and powered that was a old thing back in the day you needed less pelletized then powered. Powered last longer in the soil then pelletized. Only difference is pelletized is easier to spread. Rain is also key and also discing into the soil for less run off and puts it at roots level

Great videos! I’m about to start my First food plot in a couple weeks. Thank you for all the great information!

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

No problem good luck

[@josephrichmond5105]

i've founded that powdered lime works extremly well its reaction time is almost instant i did an experiment i turned 1plot into 2 so the soil sample was the same all over i did half powder and half pellet and checked my PH right before planting and the powdered lime side jumped from 5.6 to 6 and the pellet side was 5.8 you should do a video show this experiment

[@alondrapipito-ge7zx]

My friend it would be more effective if you rip open the ground, then spay the lime....but thats just my opinion

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

Yeah can’t rip open the ground in dead of winter! It was disced in during spring planting.

[@prestonbrown4414]

Looking good🙏🏽

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

Preston Brown thank you

[@EinsteinTeachedYou]

Ph here in my NY area was 6.2

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

WESTERN NY BIGFOOT very nice

[@jeffsmathers414]

5.2-5.6

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

Pretty low.

[@startingtraditionsoutdoors]

Waiting for the soil test to come back then go from there. It shouldn't be too bad this year.

Starting Traditions Outdoors 2 Brothers awesome keep me posted

[@chadlynch8207]

great content

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

Thanks

[@dronevideos1552]

Just checked mine. 5.0 PH. Called for 8000lbs per acre. I put 1000 lbs down today. Cut it in with disk. I’ll put down another 1000 lbs later in the spring.

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

Awesome keep at it 👊

[@transamguy9073]

If u lime now i didnt think it really raised your ph until next yr. Thought it took about 10 months to take effect

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

No that’s not accurate. Reacts faster then rhat

[@Ripper0518]

I'm new to food plot have not tested my soil yet but I will soon but need to do some work to clear the area bc recently logged lots of trash left on the ground

[@THEPEACHETR]

That’s a lot of lime

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

Ga Hunter yes sir. Lime equals great plots lol.

[@tladd248]

Hey man love the videos. I’m starting two new plots roughly 1 acre each. I plan on spreading powder lime by hand possibly, about how long should I wait for the lime to affect the soil before planting? I was hoping to plant some spring or summer crops but could wait until fall if I have to lol. And can I dump the lime onto very thick grass that was just cut or should I burn that off or disc it first? Appreciate all the wisdom, keep up the good work!

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

It takes a good solid year for like to take effect. If you can disc the like in that would be best if not you can spread on top. I would get it out now and plant your spring summer crop that will help as well.

[@tladd248]

Whitetail obsession outdoors COOL THANK YOU!!

“By hand” then proceeds to use an ATV.

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

Yup

[@huntingwithpreston4975]

Our Ph is 5.7

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

Hunting with Preston not the worst that’s for sure

[@racksforracks8580]

Haven't got my sample done yet, when do you plan to till and seed.

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

Racks for Racks depending on how long it’s stays wet. I’m looking toward the end of March beginning of April to till and then very early may to plant

[@racksforracks8580]

Most of the websites say plant later for my area in Ontario. I would be worried for my 2 acres it could get over grazed by fall if planted to early. Really enjoying your updates. Are you gonna use the ground hog max to till all 3 acres, thinking about getting on. Check out my channel jjust starting up thanks

[@ralphwitt9975]

5.6 ph on a new 3 acre food plot i put in on 40 acres i just purchased soil is mostly sand i live in NW indiana.

[@edpitcock3344]

Will you till that in or top seed that

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

Ed Pitcock I will till it in around the middle of March to wet to do it now. Thanks for watching

you got my bike dirty!

Good

[@grantgemlo7348]

Before making the plot ph was 5.7 and after 2 seasons it is at 6.5 now.

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

Awesome good to hear

[@robbobcat7286]

is this the same plot we see in your newer videos?

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

Yes

[@georgiadeerhunting8337]

How much did all the lime coast and what state do you guys hunt

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

Georgia Deer hunting this was pa and it cost about 300 dollars

[@MIXMASTERBJB1]

Any reason you didn't buy bulk agg lime??

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

Yes. Had no way to get it back in there. Was just easier with the bags

[@MIXMASTERBJB1]

I use a 5x8 utility trailer. Can get almost 1 ton on it at a time. Then Stick a buddy with a backpack blower off the end and blow it off the trailer as i make my rows. It's not flawless but works pretty damn good. 2 guys don't take long to shovel more on the trailer either..bag lime is GREAT if you can afford it. It's 190$ difference between bulk and bag ton here in Bradford county.

[@ChaseK31419]

Is there a vast difference between Ag lime and regular pelletized lime?

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

Ones easier to spread then the other and ones cheaper. Pelletized lime was made for ease of spreading and some of it is high quality so it acts faster. But with easier spreading it cost more. Ag lime needs a special spreader to spread it but it’s cheaper. All depends on yours goals and what you have to work with

[@harrycrannell7895]

I have a special ag line spreader... flat shovel. Lol. $19 a ton

[@harvestofpeace.therese]

Where did you get that spreader? I'm only finding the ones with wheels. Afraid it will get swallowed by my mole holes.

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

Bought it off amazon. I believe it was like 120 dollars.

I might have missed it in the video, but how many acres was that 1.5T for?

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

Ryan Haarmann it was almost 3 acres

[@ubuntunewb]

Whitetail obsession outdoors ok so roughly 1k lime / AC Is this the same plot with fenced soybeans and buckwheat? Were there any other like apps?

[@MayorOfGoodells]

Just wanted to point out, according to BraenStone.com "One advantage of pelletized lime is that less material is required to balance the soil than traditional aglime (at a ratio difference of 1:10). The product is quite easy to distribute across the surface of the soil, and doesn’t need to be tilled into the earth." So your 3K lbs pellet is equivalent to 30K ag.

[@Rcol4427]

The 1:10 ratio for lime is not true. Lime is lime wether you are spreading pellet or AG lime and lime always works much better when its tilled in. Fact!

[@travissmith2974]

pH 4.4

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

Pretty low. I have one this year that’s a 4.4 going to take some work to get it right

[@2012mrtbone]

Ph is 4. How much more lime

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

1 ton of lime per acre to raise it 1 point. So if it’s 1 acre you need about 2.5 to 3 ton

[@robbobcat7286]

How come you didn't just use Quick acting lime?

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

Quick acting lime is like triple the cost of pelletized lime. YeS they say you can use less so it could equal out but lime is lime and what we used perfectly fine ph now is about a 6.5

[@robbobcat7286]

yeah i saw 3000 pounds for 300.00 bucks thats pretty cheap.3.50 for 50 pounds is the cheapest i see in my area

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

Yeah I’ve seen It in Maryland for about 3.23 for 50 lbs.

[@Rcol4427]

Fast acting lime leaches out of the soil to quick, about 4 months. You will need to add regular lime anyway.fast acting is good as long as you plan on adding regular shortly after.

[@Duckslayer883]

My ph is 7.0

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

Perfect 👌

[@scottneil9151]

Dave I have a first year food plot and my PH is 5.2 I just spread #2,500 lbs per acre. How long will it take to start raising my PH?, and how much do you think that will raise it. I used pelletized lime. Thanks in advance!

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

There’s a lot of factors that play into how soon it will react and how much it will make a difference. Lime typically takes at least 3 months to start moving numbers. If you work it in the soil and get something planted it will React faster. As long as you put it down you can plant something even with a ph of 5.2

[@quinnm.2314]

if you spread 3000lb per acre on 3 acres you will raise it by 0.3 lol

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

That’s why as mentioned in the video we came back and spread more! That’s all we could get at that time.

[@quinnm.2314]

@@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors oh i see. if your soil is that acidic, have you ever considered doing a no till method with a cover crop?

[@rafterbbuilders6896]

CCGG262 I’m curious about this. I’ve heard some no till cover crop guys say that. By doing this method, does it neutralize the ph?

[@travissmith-wz5nc]

Dont get ph tested. I pland a blend of species and never til.
