starting clover tips
 

would it be better to seed with a fescue and clover mixto help the startup in a sandy soil. What is the best grower in sandy soil?

Normally the first step is a soil test. PH has to be 6.3-7.5 for clover to thrive.

The Second step would be to be sure the sandy soil is not too well drained for clover to grow. By what I have read on this and other forums, clover is the #1 planting but it works best in areas that hold moisture.

The last thought is that fescue is a agressive planting to combine with clover. From what I've seen, it has a good chance of choking out the clover as the soil drys out.

Just a few thoughts, I'm sure you get others.

Thanks,
I got tostudy up on the best clover to use here in Eastern NC.
The area I have has about all you want such as, a few spots hold water better than others, some is well drained. We planted rye few years back it grew pretty well. Now its time for a change. Next to the area is a field mainly forsoybeans. We had cotton this year.
Pretty much sunlight.
My patch is about 3/4 acre.
