Sedges are a nemesis in my orchard clovers. Thanks for covering them.

[@sandych33ks1]

I mow my clover plot once a month in the summer.. It doesn't stop the weeds, i have used Arrest Max and that doesnt kill the weeds. I have resorted to picking / pulling weed roots ... I havent spot treated with glyphosate yet but its a great idea. Its November 29th in the Northeast and the deer are still in my clover..

I only have a brush mover or my cub cadet 50” mower as choices. I already see young pigweed(I’m in Minnesota) in the 1/2acre plot I planted about a month ago. Will setting my Cub Cadet at the highest (4”) mark and keeping it mowed all summer and fall allow the clover and chicory to crowd out the other weeds or will the lack of weeds getting to seed stage work out well for me?

[@ChilcoteForestryServices]

Good info about .clover maintenance. I i am posting a video about using spot treatment and a weed whacker to get rid of thhistle and mullen withou.t spraying

[@MrShou5]

Thanks for sharing. I just planted clover grass seed in my backyard instead of the traditional Kentucky lawn. What herbicide can I buy to use to kill weeds in my newly planted Clover lawn?

[@jesusjones3014]

I'm researching as well. 24d so far I think will work for broadleaf weeds. It might slow clover down a bit but it should recover. Haven't found anything for grassy weeds, so I think I'll spot spray them as needed and replant clover in those few areas as needed. Doing a similar thing out back for about 2 acres to go with my Bermuda out there. Need the clover for green ground cover and hopefully the Bermuda will spread more over time.

Great ideas for SMALL clover pots

[@natel7734]

Really enjoy the videos you guys are putting out. In your experience can you get a good stand of clover on a south facing slope? Thanks

[@Landandlegacytube]

Nate L depends on where you’re at in the country. If summer is severe it’s probably not a good option. Also depends on the soil type

What kills Lespedeza but not my clover?

[@joanelumba1132]

How do I get rid of purslane in my new clover lawn?

[@sandych33ks1]

Twice a year is not enough mowing to keep thistle from spreading. You can't pull thistle and kill it either as any remaining roots will resprout ... I have clover plots and hay fields , corn fields etc. Thistle is a huge problem and the best way to kill is with chemicals..

[@subninja8069]

I am using this as a way to have a lawn of Dual Cultie of my Lawn with using clover so whatever I can find is good enough for me.

How about controlling sedges in a clover Chicory plot?

[@Landandlegacytube]

Sedgehammer herbicide

[@travissmith-wz5nc]

Broadcast 200lbs wheat or rye with 10lbs tillage radish per half acre. Then mow in late july early August. Only 30 to 50% will sprout.

[@Landandlegacytube]

Depends on how thick the clover is. We've found better germination rates by broadcasting in the thin stands of clover, obviously.

[@travissmith-wz5nc]

@@Landandlegacytube try seeding and mowing a little tighter to ground. Like 4 or 5 inches. You'll get 50% germination.

[@Landandlegacytube]

@@travissmith-wz5nc We tend to keep the mower height above that because cutting much shorter results in more unwanted plants coming in. The cereal grain crops are used to fill the voids in chicory and clover.
