So I've got a field directly behind our cabin that I want to plant into a green perennial mix. I'd like alfalfa, chicory, and clover planted together.
I formulated this a while back, but I never really had a plan for which types to use. I know there are many types of alfalfa, and also chicory and clover. What is the best type of alfalfa for deer? I know vernal is good for baling, but deer are a little different. Ed spinazzola talks of grazing alfalfa. What varieties have worked for you?
Chicory - are all chicory varieties the same? What should I target for a mixture chicory?
Clover - I don't want the clover to take over, so I don't know if I want white dutch. Should I just do a ladino clover and mix in medium red? Or, should I throw in 4 different varieties and just give the deer a nice mix of everything?
I wouldn't be opposed to multiple varieties of all the types of seed, if there are benefits to all. Kind of annoying when ordering though haha
