Default How Low Do you Mow?

My clover is growing like crazy with all this rain. It really needs to be mowed, but my tractor is broke down. I was thinking about taking my riding lawn mower out. How low do you usually cut your clover? Also, the plot is getting some weeds in it. The plot is a mix of Whitetail Institute clover and Tecomante Clover and Chicory. If I sprayed the plot with WI's weed killer would that take out the Tecomante clover or kill everything but the WI and Tecomante products? Thanks

You want to mow clover approximately to six inches. You will get by with less with how much moisture you say you're getting.

generally not more than 1/3 of the total plant height, cutting more could slow growth, also not during times of stress
the spray would probably kill your chicory not sure about the clover
