My hunting spot is 17 miles west of Grapeland, TX. This will be my third season with
Imperial's clover. My soil is clay, usually very wet, holds water and dries brick hard with inch wide cracks by august. The clover grows about two feet tall then browns by mid July. I don't mess with it until mid September then I cut it with a Garden tractor at its highest blade setting. By hunting season, with rain, its green and growing. I usually overseed the plot with seed oats in mid September to take the pressure off the newly seeded clover, and of course fertilize. Next spring, Lord willing, I'm going to spray a grass herbacide. If you like the Idea of tilling etc. every year go with seed oats, If not Imperial Clover is the answer on your clay plot IMO.
