Kopu II, Jumbo Ladino, Alice, Chickory, What Percentage

[Mike]

First post since coming over from QDMA forum two weeks ago. Next summer I intend to rotate two plots back into a white clover and chickory blend. Its been many years since I used any other white clover than Kopu II just because I love how thick and vigourous it grows. I would like to mix my Kopu II with some other whites to create more variety. I am thinking Alice and Jumbo Ladino. Any thoughts on issues with this mix? What percentage would you go with on the whites and the chickory?

I usually shoot for 6-8# of the white clovers/acre so throw in a couple pounds of chicory and say 8-10#/acre. So like Badgerfowler said a couple pounds of each looks like a good mix.

We did an even mix of Kopu II, Ladino, and Alice with oats as a nurse crop. Once the oats got eaten / went to seed / decayed down, the 3 clovers took off and are now a nice plot. Lime and 5-20-20 for that plot.
