Thanks!!! Now that we're getting plenty of rain the clover has really come on strong since the July photo. On October 8th I cut it back to 5" and dropped some 0-25-25 to give it a little boost going into fall. Since this turned into a spring germination I'm really surprised at how well it did making it through the drought this summer. Looking forward to next year since both Durana and Patriot tend to do much better in their second year.

On a side note, I've been using my trimmer with a brush blade to cut it. Talk about time consuming and work intensive!!! Done this 3 times so far and generally takes over 3 hours to do it. The last cut I actually used my commercial zero turn mower. Much much faster and far less user fatigue!! The downside however is I spent over an hour cleaning out the deck and removed 2 five gallon buckets full of finely ground clover from the underside of the deck. Huge mess!! Below is the before and after photo from the mow. Haven't had time to get back out there but I suspect with the cooler weather and rain we've had it's going like gang busters!
