All,
I frost seeded 2 clover plots in March. They are finally starting to come up which is the good news! The bad news is some areas have weeds AND one plot I frost seeded into was cereal rye. I had no idea cereal rye was considered a biannual/perennial type and would come back from last fall here in NY, when I planted it (Stupid me). Needless to say it is about 1 foot tall now and the deer are no longer eating it. I Can see the clover down low though and the clover is about 1-2 inches tall at the moment. I'm wondering if I should cut the cereal rye to like 6 inches so the clover can get more sun light since the rye is relatively thick (looks like a hay field out there)? Also, what do you all use as far as chemicals for weeds and when should I spray since the clover is young (I do not want to chance hurting the clover). Thanks!
