Going to forst seed some clover in the lawn again. MY wife likes to run the zero turn, I've twisted her arm to leave the mower higher in a few spots. Any lawn repairs are done with clover. Tons of various weeds i nthere too. Dandelion, crabgrass, plantain, and creeping charlie. Never use fertilizer with weed killer. Have used clethodim around tree plantings though..... I do wish the creeping charlie wasn't around, but 2,4D is not freidnly to clover or other deer and rabbit forage in there.
I've been using dutch white and ladino clover. I have a bag of dutch white, but no regular ladino. I have a bag of peddington patriot clover I'm tempted to use. I do have a buffet of clover seeds I mix up I can use. Dutch white, durana, crimson, medium red, ladino, chickory, and touch of alfalpha. Pretty much anything I can find for a decent rice mixed up. This in my foodplot seed. I know some of those do not take well to manicuring.
Anybody do the same thing? Any other prep you like to do. I do rake up the spot a bit to clear up the thatch. Which I will do around my new apple trees out back.
As I learned on here, pure clover is not sustainable C-N balance.
Tempted to try some of that microclover in the mix.
