I have an old gravel pit up at my land. It's not gravel per se but a heavy claey, rocky dirt that they mined for fill dirt when they built the new highway 40 years ago. It's about 4 acres. Not much grows in it - some grasses but that is kind of sparse - though there is enough vegetation that I brush hog it every year in late July to stimulate new growth. I wish I could get better plant growth in there. A friend of mine suggested all the leaves in the fall but it would take many truckloads of leaves. What else can I do to stimulate more vegetation? There's no farms around anymore to get manure from and I wouldn't have the equipment to spread it if there was. What kind of fertilizer could I use to stimulate plant growth? Would using chemical fertilizer eventually build soil if a crop like rye was never harvested? I'm not just looking ahead to next summer but would also like to do some sort of long term reclamation in that area. What can a guy can do without a huge budget? Thanks for any advice.
