I have a large 5 acre yard backyard nobody really uses. However, some of it is mine and the southern side of it is my in-laws. They dont mind me growing stuff back there, they just dont wint it 3ft tall. Been doing clover in my section. I have harrowed and planted clover in 2020 in a good chunk on their side.
I have a tow behind rough cut mower I am modifying to mow 6-7 inches high. Think it does about 4.5-5 now. I can harrow it again, got a sprayer, and in the process of building a cultipacker too.
Last year the neighbors built a house in an old apple orchard behind me. They might be more open to having taller grass. The backyard is uphill of their house, so it might screen the new building site from their backyard view.
Actually, I dont mind feeding the deer at all. however, I prefer to keep better forage near my hunting blind on my half of the big backyard. They are bird lovers, so if they had something feeding the birds or something with nice flowers, they might be more open to the idea.
I'm, planting 25 blue spruce, 25 poplar, and putting 10 white pine to make the yard more private for them this year.
The area is hard clay. It has been limed in 2020. Ph is about 6.5. All nutrients were moderate, nothing really high or low. Don't mind adding some though.
On a similar note, my half of the yard is slightly sloped downhill. I have standing flooding about twice a year for 5 days or so. It used to be 2 weeks before I dug out channels. Whats one of the best clover or possibly other animal edible grass / weed I can put down? Seemd ladino survived the last spell, not sure if it will this time around.
