Clover seed before the storm.

[bigboreblr]

Anybody throw clover seed down before the storm this weekend. I have maybe an inch or two and a few bare spots. This is my backyard, so I can spread any day more or less.

Dutch white if it matters.

i had thought about spreading some lime on one of my fields as it is bare ground right now but never got around to it...agree its probably about 3 weeks to a month too early for frost seeding

Wanted to spread lime, got 1 ton of barn lime bags in the garage. Now its going to have 2 feet of snow by tomorrow.

I liked the food plot and existing tree orchard spots twice last year 1/2 ton and 1/3 ton acre march and august.

Got a new row of 8-10 g890's I am putting in by my crossbow blind. Probably going in August or September, will be in rootmaker pots until then. PRobably do 2 tons / acre. and a 1/3 ton acre until I'm out of bags around stuff. Need to use pelletized and broadcast around my 2017 or so planted white spruces. $7.50 a 40lb bag.

Snow too deep for me. Quad kept getting stuck today, walking a challenge.

Waiting for most of this snow to melt, not anytime soon. Hoping to at least get the seed in the freezer. Could put it in the garage possibly.

Pruning the apple trees in next few days, so that'll be rough enough in the snow. Not much ladder work needed though.

Definitely want to get some seed down, I sprayed clethodim on the grass in the fall to tame back the broadleaf to grass ratio to let some clover grow. Got the lawn weedy alot of plantain in there.

Heres a question ive been tossing around...for liming, if I am going to lightly till (max 3" depth)..is it better to get my lime down earlier (as in as soon as the ground is not covered in snow and I get ahold of the lime) or is it better to wait and lime it the day of tilling just prior to the tilling taking place? I assume its get it down sooner then let the tilling help it get down to root level, but was wondering about everyone's view on this...

Lime takes time to dissolve/react with the soil. Generally the sooner the better.

I’m getting ready to plant alfalfa this year and also only doing 3-4” tillage. I’m doing both. I surface broadcast 1t per acre last fall. That will get tilled in during preparation this spring. I’ll then test the soil and just before planting I’m going to hit it with another 1t if needed.

I try to always have a pile of ag lime at my place at all times.
