On the heels of a successful laydown of dead balansa, YSC, and red clover, I got to wondering if crimping isn't the way to make throw and _______ work with white clover?
I've tried mowing clover as low as possible during the hottest part of the summer to try to slow it down, but it doesn't have that scorch period as close the center pole as I am.
I used to be able to grow some big tonnage ladino clover that would go north of 18" and be so thick, you couldn't get oats within 6" of the ground if you were broadcasting. I think that biomass would be big enough and weak enough by that point that it should lay down nicely, and if hit a second time, it could crush all those stems and make that stuff come back from the soil, instead of a half mowed stem. I wonder if that would slow down that clover enough to get something up through it?
