I plan on planting a clover/afalfa mix this spring. Once the soil sample comes back, I've limed, fertiilized, prepared the firm bed....then I'll be ready to seed.

Other than spending more money on seed, are there negatives to overseeding what the suggested amount per acre is? I want to see a field, lush and green with no or very limited bare spots.

Also I know it's good to mow the perennial plots twice a year or so on these types of plots depending on the amount of foraging, drought etc. When are the suggested times to mow? Time of year or plant height.

As always, thanks for all of your help.
