Alfalfa monoculture next year Z4

[Bowsnbucks]

New wrinkle: I read that like clover, it takes very well to a late summer / early fall planting schedule in my area. My experience with fall planted clover has been outstanding so I have to at least consider it.

Further info on fall-planted clover and alfalfa. Our camp has less effort put into our plots than you guys in AG areas. Following advice on this forum from experienced guys, we planted a mixed plot of Supreme brand 2020 alfalfa and Starfire red clover a few years ago. Planted right after Labor Day weekend, with good seed-bed prep. Plot blew up the following spring, and lasted for about 4 years before the alfalfa pooped out and the clover took over. That's our experience with fall-planted clover & alfalfa - FWIW.

I should add that our fall-planted plots, of whatever, seem to do better than our spring-planted ones. Spring - we get so much grass & weed competition all summer for preferred crops to get well-established. YMMV.
