Good point. Look into clover varieties. I plant nothing but white ladino clover here in northern Wisconsin. White varieties grow shorter so are less stemmy, and ladino is engineered to have large leaves. BUT, in the south red clover and chicory can be much better replacements because of their ability to withstand drought much better than white clover. Alfalfa is a pain to establish in some places (and can be expensive), but it will perform well in near desert conditions. These are all things to consider when you decide how to manage your summer nutrition plots. Good luck!
