Rennovation, Jumbo II Ladino and Chickory. Prettiest plot I have ever seen and cant keep the deer out of it. That's up here in the snow. Still waiting to hear anything about Legacy White Clover.

Looks like the word is out on the Rennovation, any word on Legacy?

I have a small forest opening on my property that is mainly goldenrod and some other native cool season grasses. I was thinking of fertilizing that area early summer to see if I can get the goldenrod to come up taller to create better bedding cover. Anybody tried this and if so what were your...

A few years ago I asked if anyone on here had any experience with two new clovers that welter seed had made available for the first time. The two in question were Legacy and Renovation white clover. I ended up doing a mix of Renovation and Jumbo II ladino with a small amount of Chicory mixed in...

Just my two cents. I have always planted my clover plots in late summer and have never had one fail. I like to spray the weeds twice and then around late August to early September plant my clover. I like to use Winter Rye Grain as a nurse crop. Everybody including myself wants to hurry up and...

Ran into this problem this past week. Had a couple of does with fawns eating in my clover plot at dusk and they would not leave. I tried to wait them out but finally had to climb down and alert the deer to my location, not good. If I was hunting with a partner I would have had them drive the...

You know what else you can do if you are concerned about not being able to water a tree its first summer is plant it in the fall. I have planted a few here at the house in October that I hardly watered at all. The tree is already dormant and wakes up in the spring in a wet environment with...

I have had great success getting trees started at property that I am only able to visit twice in the spring/summer. My property is in the Western Upper peninsula of Michigan. I have always first dug the holes for the trees. Then I would put a few buckets of water in the holes until I felt like...

I had a clover plot behind the house a few years ago and it seemed like the more I mowed it the better it got. Just seemed like mowing made the clover send out new stolens and get thicker and more lush. Also kept it weed free. I want to say I mowed it four times that year.

White clover varieties respond very well to mowing. It seems like it really stimulates it to put out stolens and spread and grow in thicker. That looks good, the only thing I would suggest is that you try to cut the clover within a few days of a coming rain event. Mowing really helps to cut down...

yoderjack-please report back in a year your experience with the Aberlasting if you can remember. I just recently responded on another thread about my experience with renovation white clover at the one year mark (I felt like it was slow to establish but is really thick and choking out competiton...

Was at the property this past week. Renovation white clover planted in a mix with Jumbo Ladino II and Chickory looked very thick and healthy. Plot was planted August of last year with a rye nurse crop. When I was there in June I mowed the rye and saw almost no clover and little chickory. I was...

I am planning on planting Dwarf Essex rape, Groundhog Radish and Austrian Winter Pea the middle of August in Michigan's Upper Penninsula. I have never planted the Peas before so my question to you guys is "Will the Brassica shade out the peas"?

I read the advertised description and as usual its the best thing since sliced bread. Anyone have any experience with this stuff. Always looking for a new clover for my clover blends.

Well I just returned from Michigan's upper peninsula. Looks like Perennial rye grass has taken over the new white clover plot I planted last august. I had sprayed with roundup in June and in mid August tilled and planted with clover blend and a Cereal rye nurse crop. I mowed the Cereal rye down...
