Re: Thinking of planting alfalfa
Even with my high deer densities they can't keep up with even small alfalfa fields which is great in that respect.
You might read back thru this thread and consider the Falcata alfalfa for a small plot that one can't bale.
It's meant to be a "one cut" alfalfa and might work better. I'm still in the testing phase myself but I like it so far.
Regular alfalfa will take many clippings to keep it from smothering I will say that. Not impossible, but a pain compared to white clover... /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif
