Overview

Designed for hunters working with challenging ground, this soil amendment helps turn low-pH or otherwise poor soil into a more productive food plot. It is intended for use where bulk or pellet lime is not available and can be mixed and applied by hand or with a tractor or ATV, making it practical for both accessible and hard-to-reach plots. Suitable for annuals and perennial food plots, it is formulated to support seedling vigor and release nutrients for months of forage growth. One 4.25-lb. jug covers up to 1/4 acre, with perennial plots potentially requiring multiple applications.

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Coverage is limited to up to 1/4 acre per 4.25-lb. jug, so larger plots will require multiple units.
  • The product is aimed at low pH soil and situations where bulk or pellet lime is not available, so it is not a universal soil solution for every plot condition.
  • Perennials may need 2–3 applications, which adds planning and product use compared with a single-application approach.
  • The application method is described as easy to mix and spray, but it still requires either hand application or equipment such as a tractor or ATV.
