Hey Folks,
I'd love some feedback on this as I am new to establishing clover and would love some advice. Here are the details:
This is a one acre clover plot I did throw n' mow to last fall with some Ladino and Cereal Rye mixed in. It was a cattle pasture previously so there are lots of unedibles left trying to keep the party going. The clover came in wonderfully and I terminated the rye about a month ago. Now the fun part begins. I have oxalis, daisy, black-eyed susan, and ironweed identified so far. Obviously, the ironweed has not bloomed yet, but the others have. I'm not sure if their seeds are fully developed yet or if mowing again would prevent this. I'm in a bit of a drought right now, so I probably shouldn't mow until it rains (should be next week).
I have wondered how often I should be mowing to suppress weeds? I just don't want to stress out the clover during this dry period.
Another thought is Butyrac 200, which I am willing to try if others think this is a good plan. This clover is in my apple orchard and will be used for helping with pollination and maybe some light bee keeping.
Any help appreciated.
