<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: huntyak</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I just had a new strip opened for a plot and would like to see it in clover. This fall, would you seed with Alice/White and rye/oats and then frost seed clover so that it is all clover next spring? Just trying to see how you guys would plant if you wanted a fall food source but then wanted it in clover next year? </div></div>
You won't need to frost seed...just seed the white clover in late August with rye and oats...done!
Just be careful of ending up with clover every where. If you want those strips of clover for a number of years...great, but you may want some plots each fall that are oats/rye and perhaps some that are brassicas.
For the plots you want in clover for next year...
Plant the last couple weeks of August.
Till, broadcast rye and oats and fertilizer, roll seed in, broadcast 4-8#'s of clover seed and roll again.
Deer will be attracted to the rye and oats this fall, the clover will take off like gangbusters next spring.
The oats will die during cold weather, rye will feed deer thru the winter and grow next spring. Clip it off when ever you clip your clover.
Maintain the clover, spray for grasses if/when needed and it'll be there for years. /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
