Thanks for sharing this. I have been doing this for years. I use oats mixed in with my clover to start with. Where I live, Louisiana, I plant mine in the beginning of October. I bushhog after it seeds out. Thats when the white balls develop on top, after the little balls turn brown, mow it down!!! This has always worked out well for me.

At the 12:55 mark you mentioned your bag seeder's bag spilling seed when filling. I use the Earthway bag seeder and I took a plastic "bucket" that small trees are sold in, and I cut the bottom out of it and made a cut lengthwise. I then folded the side onto itself to make a "funnel" of sorts, and pop riveted it back together. Now when I fill my seeder bag I will slip this "bucket funnel" into the bag and can fill without it falling over. I have also started using the Extreme Blower Product seed attachment that goes onto your leaf blower. I have found this to be WAY MORE EFFECTIVE in doing my "throw and mow" process.

Have you ever put down clover seed at the first of winter n let it set all winter for spring germination?

@@kennethwright3786 I have tried that and it works but I typically like the fall planting the best. If you can get your clover coming up in the fall it will have a jump start in the spring and it will crowd out some of your weeds. Best of luck.

Killed a giant tom last season after I field dressed him I looked in his craw to see what he was eating and it was packed full of clover

If the clover is up, they definitely favor it. It also makes good habitat for grasshoppers and insects so they have a buffet. 👍🏻👍🏻

What do you do if you do not have an open area to start with? My property is fairly thick with no real openings. I assume I can just take a chainsaw to most of it but then I would be left with a bunch of stumps, Any advice? Thank you

I have made new clearings but it takes a lot of work. It really depends on how big the trees are in the area your wanting cleared. Usually the best approach is to use a bull dozer to do the clearing. After that I use a tractor and disk to break the soil and roots on the new ground. Sometimes it can take several seasons to completely remove all the roots and rocks left over. You will also need to do a soil test and most likely add agriculture lime to get the desired PH in your soil. A new plot is a big job but it’s definitely worth it. Hope this helps. 👍🏻👍🏻🦃🦃

Beautiful plot,how long do your clover plots last? Do you spray them with round up and then till or do you just till and not spray. Do clovers require a rotation? If you wanted to plant brassica would the clover come back if you didnt spray? Sorry for all the ? But I'm curious and want to do it right.

Thank you, it’s my favorite food plot choice. Typically they will last about 5 years if you take care of them. Yes, starting out you can use round up and then till your ground to prepare it. That’s one of the main reasons I like to plant it in the fall, so the clover can establish while the weeds are not as active. Then in the spring, the clover will choke out most of the weeds. After a clover cycle, I usually let the field rest a year before planting it back. I believe that’s a good rule with any food plot to give them a rest from time to time. I would say that some of the clover will come back if you planted brassicas. I do have some fields that I use to plant clover in and the clover has come back on it’s own. Thanks for the questions and write back anytime. Good luck with your plot. 👍🏻☘️🦃

@@TurkeyHuntingUSA I've never understood the question how long does a clover plot last. If you don't reseed a lawn weeds will take over. Once established I frost seed $15 worth of clover each year and my clover plot has "lasted" for 15+ years.

Once you get the plot established, can you reseed in the late winter every year and never have to till after the first time?
@TurkeyHuntingUSA
@TurkeyHuntingUSA 2 жыл бұрын
I would say as long as you can keep the weeds sprayed out, it wouldn’t hurt a thing to over-seed in the winter and keep on going. If you try this, let me know how it works. Thanks

It is doing well but it’s very short. The deer and turkeys have kept it low since it’s pretty much stopped growing. With the longer days and warmer temps it should start coming on strong anytime now.

Yes, I’ve had the best luck planting my clover in the fall. You can plant in the spring but you have a lot of weeds to compete with. I would say yes, it is too late to plant now. Your seed probably won’t start growing until the ground starts warming up. Here in Kentucky, clover is not actively growing. Thanks for the questions 👍🏻👍🏻🦃🦃
