Great tip
On timed mowing late summer during drought.

Great advice! I love using host crops with clover in the fall. Works every time even in marginal soil and it’s once and done! Just clip it occasionally to control the weeds.

[troyboulware]

love clover! if you don't have access to an aerator, another way to break up soil compaction is to broadcast some radishes and rye in your clover just before mowing. i try to do this around labor day weekend every year before a rain. i'm in zone 5 btw

Sometimes my high elevation spots seem to drought out in the summer. I have been top dressing them with brassicas in August to take advantage of the nitrogen. Seems to work.

How low can the temps get overnight before you loose palatability of the clover? Alot of us hunt way up northern lattitudes than you.

[timburke]

Love that sprayer setup. Can you tell me where to buy or how to set it up on the side by side?

[Rohn]

Awesome video very helpful, typically in a normal moisture year how many times are you mowing? Thanks

[mholder]

Great video as always. Question about spraying, do you spray the IMOX, Section Three, and WayPoint all together at the same time? Or separate? Hoping to establish a nice clover plot this fall, so this was extremely helpful.

Hey great tip on mowing just before season. Im in ohio i dono if i can mow that late in the season tho. And i like mowing my clover tall to. I only mowed it once earlier this yr cause its just to dry to mow now. Mite have to wait till late august

You guys mention using Butyrac, Section Three. Is there a go to herbicide? I’ve used Clethodim or arrest with very little success. Also, I have deer grazing my clover the same day after spraying. Is this safe? That stuff smells horrible. Not sure how they tolerate eating after that.

[leeweber]

Where do you find 0-20-40 fertilizer? None of our coop or agg centers have that.

[rickyCorn-kf]

I live in Tn and have clover growing every were in my hay fields my yard would it be suitable to plant clover in my food plot.

[brentwesemann]

Just found your channel, love the topics. When you spray clover in fall, what do you mean by "fall" and are you spraying Imox then as well?

Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. I greatly appreciate it!

Screw the surfactant, USE DISH-DETERGENT! ITS CHEAPER!
