Default RE: Clover Plots & WEEDS - Need Help!

Poast can be applied with great results. I use a 25 gallon sprayer, and use about 20 gallons of water-I think it' s 1.5 pints of Poast, 2.5 pounds of Amonium Sulfate, and a couple pints of crop oil(the mixes are in the directions).

I was out at the Biologic' s northern research center near Bath, NY a couple of weekends ago. I was able to view 2, 1 acre fields of clover, side-by-side, planted 3 years ago. The one on the left had been treated with Poast each year, mowed, and was beautiful. The one on the right was just mowed, and was 70-80% weeds. Huge difference! The have 1 field on the property that is 8 years old, maintained with Poast, and a Round-up wick for broadleafs, but mostly just poast.

In the spring you can let your broadleaf' s grow higher than your clover. You can then go in with something like a board wrapped in carpet and soaked in a Round-up solution, suspended from a front-end loader or a boom on an ATV, and just " brush" the tops of the weeds.

Don' t wait until it' s too late though!
