Hello everyone,
Just wondering if I should leaf blow or rake the leaves off of my plot before frost seeding in about a month or so? I have never done this, but have heard it can help and I got a suboptimal growth of my frost seeded clover last year and am trying to figure out why (I did seed it earlier than normal and it stayed cold for a long time afterwards...). My field is surrounded by pretty tall maples/cherries/oaks on the North, South and East sides but open to the West. Here's a pic of my future food plot helper so you can get an idea of how many leaves I am dealing with.
