Gentlemen, Thursday the 24th Ibushogged my 6 yrs. old Imperial Clover plot (very short). The next day I sprayed the 3 acrea feild with a 4% Roundup sol., it had become much too weedy. I'm not sure of the next step to take. Here in Calhoun County, Mi. the recomened time for fall planting is the end of Aug.-1st of Sept. I want to make this plot look like some of the great clover plots I see in some of the pictures, mine always end up weedy. Some folks recomend, waiting 10 days then respray with roundup, then wait another week to till the ground and plant. Others say to till in 10 days then wait 10 more days spray again, till, then plant.
WHAT DO YOU GUYS SUGGEST?
My PH is 6.8. I have had great luck with the Imperial Clover, deer in the feild all the time, my neigbor has alfalra in his I have twice the deer in mine. This spring I planted 4 acreas of Cave-in-rock switchgrass around the old clover feild. This is hard work and with the price of seed and fuel I just want to do this right. If I can keep this plot in good shape for 6-8 years I'll be 65yrs. Someone else can take it over. I don't have a cultierpacker, just drag an old fence behind the tractor.
