Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately I don't have much choice but to plant now due to other commitments. I'm in very northern MN so I'm hoping it is still an okay time. Also, the only chance of rain in the next two weeks in next Tuesday and Wednesday. I'm afraid to wait any longer. Maybe I can...

I'm looking at planting my fall plot this weekend. I'm planning on wr and three types of clover. I'll probably add a little radish too. What I'm confused on, and need help with, is the mix ratio. It seems like a lot of mixes use the full seeding lbs/acre for each individual seed. That seems like...

I have three fields that I have not planted before and are starting to become overgrown with weeds and very small trees. I want to convert them to clover this fall. I sprayed two weeks ago with gly. I went back yesterday and the grasses were very brown. The raspberries and thicker vegetation was...

I have a few areas that I would like to put into clover/rye this fall. They are currently just weeds. If I were to let them grow up a little and then spray, would I need to mow and cultipack? I'm hoping not to mow as there are numerous rocks and it takes extra time. My hope was that I could...

I know I can frost seed the wr and clover. Can alfalfa be done the same way?

These plots are relatively new and haven't had anything in them the past two years. The plots are in Canada, just across the MN border so I wasn't able to do anything the last two summers. The ph was 5.5 the last time I did a soil test. I plan on putting down lots of lime this spring and then...

I'm planning on putting several fields in clover next spring but I would still like some diversity. My plan was clover with wr for a cover crop in late summer/early fall. Can I add alfalfa to this mix? I really like the thought of clover and alfalfa together in the same plot after the first...

I am looking at doing throw n mow for clover/wr next year. After I get done spraying and seeding, do I mow and cultipack, just mow or just cultipack?

Sorry, wrong forum. Please ignore or delete.

I have an area I want to turn into a clover plot. It's never had a foodplot in it but is an open area about 3/4 of an acre and was mowed once in the end of August. My thought was to frost seed it. My question is this: do I need to kill everything first or does it have a reasonable chance of...

Are you seeding directly into live plants or are you suppressing it first with gly or something else?

It's a once a year cutting. The field is about 15 acres so I'm not planning on adding clover to all of it...just in a couple strategic places. I have 6-7 acres that he does not cut that I can plant with other things like brassicas and a clover/wr plot. I'm planning on splitting the 6-7 acres...

It's a grassy area that used to be mowed and baled for cattle but they don't mow this area any more.

I'm thinking about planting rutabaga next spring. Can it be done by throw n mow?
