When we ruffed this plot in last September I added 800 pounds of lime but did not get a chance to add fertilizer. I'll be on our property in March to increase the size (almost double) of the plot and plant fruit trees. I may add more WR and MRC to the plot, it just depends on how it looks when I get there.
Questions:
1) Is March a good time to add fertilizer to boost sprig growth or is it too early? I'm in 6b, green up is pretty late at our elevation of 3k; mid April or later. Average last frost is May 11th.
2) What should I plant in the new cleared areas in March. Just looking to increase the OM and get things started. I was thinking about going heavy with WR and Oats then adding buckwheat in June if the cereal grains don't do well.
Thoughts?
