It is interesting to see you fellows talk about how much top soil and PH for the clover. In my area of northern Mississippi, you are lucky to get a place for a food plot that has even one good inch of topsoil. I usually have to work with mostly clay and some spots that may be sandy. But don' t worry, I planted the Ladino clover and the clover doesn' t seem to mind. Limed and fertilized and it is in its 3rd. year. Very thick in my one plot on the edge of a hayfield. Growth in a monitor cage is 24 inches, but the field height averages 6-8 inches. Something seems to be cropping my field. Two new plots this year, just coming on. About 2-3 inches, but a healthy green. Turkeys are the only problem, stripped a circle in the middle of one plot. Will overseed later. My plot may not be scientific, but it' s Clover.
