I've got Tecomate's Lab Lab plus to plant in the spring and I'm looking at 3 different types of clover and some chickory to plant in early fall.

The ladino clovers will not do well if you do not have a heavier soil with a top depth of over 8 inches. There is a difference in clovers. WE no longer sell the Imperial brand but is is about the best... Usually, no one type of forage plant will do the job all through the season because of maturity, sweetness and protein values. You need a blend.Check the top soil and do a soil sample.

If you plant an acre, I would give you a piece of advice. If you plan to hunt over your crop. plant it in a way that will promote deer to walk past you, (Funnel shape). I'm doing two tear drop shaped plots, totals about an acre, that the points of the 2 tear drops touch each other within 30 yards of a big oak tree that we plan to put a ladder stand on. Good luck

My plot is going to be long and narrow and start 10 yards from the south edge of a timber. There is a tree right on the edge I can put a stand in and there is a funnel right where I will be sitting. There are thick breyers and a fence 15 yards to the east and a creek 25 yards to the west. So they have to use the trail between me and the creek. I'm hoping to catch them on their way to it!
