I' m still trying to decide the best way to develop my property and after reading the archives of this forum I am wondering if clover is really the best option for me. I have several open fields to deal with in a spruce forest but none is very large. I get the impression that you need a fairly large field to make seeding clover worthwhile. My largest tillable area is about 30X100 yards and most are much smaller. Would it make more sense for me to plant a couple of dozen apple trees instead? It would certainly be alot easier in the long run. Apples are about the only fruit trees that do well here. Nut bearing trees don' t survive. Are there other crops that are worth planting in small plots?
