Clover and fertilizer

[Brush Creek]

Is/can i fertilize a clover plot? Is there smoething that would kill some small areas of moss?

Yes you can fertilize, remember, you only need P & K not N, because the clover makes it's own. If you have moss, you generally have too much moisture and low ph. Lime that area to raise the ph and get something else going in there to soak up the excess moisture. Alsike clover doesn't mind wet feet. Do you know the ph of that plot from your soil test? Chances are the whole plot could use some lime and that would help "free up" fertilizer that is already in your soil for use by your clover.

I have used 6-24-24 on my clover before.

The more sunlight your plot gets generally means less chance for moss.

I have added 0-0-60 and 0-46-0 to my clover plots. Soil tests have phosphorus and potash very low. Tests indicate 200# potash and 100# phosphorus per acre.

If the clover is established the moss will be choked by the clover. Lack of light brings moss, moss will grow In in a nuertal ph.
