Update on the results of our reseeding of Clover April 28th. We planted 39 lbs. of clover April 28th in Central Wis. Sands Area on approx. 1 3/4 acres. We used 15lbs. Jumbo Ladino and 24lbs. Aberlasting Clover. We used a Solo hand spreader and we went over twice with the cultipacker. We got...

Thanks for the great photo and your encouragement. We thought about frost seeding but we were hoping for better results from last falls plantings. I forgot to mention that we added 8 lbs. of Med. Red Clover to the mix last fall as well. Not sure we are doing the right thing now but figured what...

I am still watching and reading all the comments and ideas. I stopped at the land last Thursday April 17 and nothing yet but pretty much bare ground. I talked to our owner and we decided to buy some more seed and replant this coming weekend April 27. I'm going to broadcast with a Solo handheld...

Sorry for the late response but we were on vacation and no internet access. Thanks to all of you for your replies and suggestions. We took soil samples this last fall. We divided up the food plot into 2 halves. South end was 220yds. long by 22 yds. wide, the north end was the same size. we took...

We are in Central Sands Area in Central Wis. We planted clover last fall with a cover crop of forage oats. We planted Labor day weekend and had no rain for 2 weeks. Rains came and we had very good germination and continued to grow till the first week in Nov.. We had good growth and it was quite...

We are in Central Sands Area in Wisconsin. Almost 100 % sand. We have planted Aberlasting for a number of years but always in a Mix, so never sure which was which. We lost almost all our Clover last summer due to the hot dry summer, so we replanted on Labor Day this last Fall. We planted 1 1/2...

We are planning to plant 3 types of clover this Labor Day, Sept 2.. We will be planting 3 types: Aberlasting, Jumbo Ladino, and a Med. Red. we will be using a cover crop. I realize we are quite late but because of other circumstances we have no choice. Just wondering what others may have...

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.
