We will be adding some chicory to it as well. We tried frost seeding chicory this early spring / late winter and did not have good results. In fact we can't find but a few plants. Hopefully it will do better when we overseed in August. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks to all of you for your response to Aberlasting White Clover. Since my first post I have talked to the Wildlife Specialist ( Jason Wenzel ) from Deer Creek Seed in Wisconsin. He has been growing it for 3 years now on his own plots in the Green Bay, Wis. area. Definetly much better soil...

I am in the Central Sands Region in Central Wisconsin.. Our soil is almost 100% sand. We currently have about 2 acres of Clover and Winter Rye. Clover is 9615- Med. Red Clover that has been doing okay for us. Have been doing some reading about AberLasting White Clover and thinking about adding...

We are in central Wisconsin Sands area. We currently have a total of approx 2 acres of foodplots that are all Med- Red Clover, some Ladino White clover and Winter Rye that we overseeded last fall with Throw and Mow. The overseeded Rye did not due well. Overseeded twice for a total of 400 lbs...

Thanks Jack and Jasker you guys have been a big help. I failed to mention in my first post that we do not own this property and only lease it for hunting. Our farmer has let us foodplot in 2 acres of his 30 acre cornfield. It is about 2 hours away. My goal is 3 fold. 1) To improve the soil in...

Thanks for your thoughts. Are you saying that just scratching the very top inch or so to bury some seed so the birds are not eating everything like jasker007 is suggesting is not going to work in T&MOW or am I misunderstanding?

You would use the cultipacker in either case i'm assuming.

Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it. So you would recommend lightly discing and then cultipacking? I assume you meant not to try this in the middle of a drought?

We started throw and roll this year and have had limited success in our central sands area in WI. even thou we have had plenty of rain. We planted brassicas July 27 and some areas of the 3/4 acre plot did well and other areas not so well. On Aug. 25 we overseeded 224# of W/R into the brassica...

Trying Throw & Roll for the 1st time this weekend. Planting a brassica blend of Daikon Radish, PTTurnips , Winfred Forage Brassica, Sub Zero Forage Brassica and Pasja Forage Turnip from Deer Creek Seed in Wisconsin. Bag says to plant 5-9 lbs. per acre ( seems like quite a spread). Would like...

Thanks for the reply and picts. that helps alot. Our red clover & WR was planted last fall and frost seeded more clover this spring. While the clover is at least a ft. tall we had hardly any red blossoms. Not sure why, it looks really healthy, the WR is 5' plus and not super thick. They are...

Thanks Scott

Do you worry about to much cut material smothering existing clover?

Thankyou guys for your replies. We were planning on mowing the WR/Clover/ Weeds next week and overseeding with some Med. Red clover in thin spots. My question is what height to mow at and will there be to much cut material that it will smother clover that is left? Should we do in a couple of...
