TKLambert Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 I know that it is too soon to do it now, but I am trying to get ready and have ever thing planned out to do so. I live in centeral NC, and I planted a plot of Imperial clover back in the spring during the recommend time period and I am not that pleased as to the thickness of how it came up. So I was wondering how can I thicken it up? I have been mowing it, but it still needs something else done to it. I was told in the fall to mow it really low and seed it really heavily. Also I have been told to open a disc all the way up and barely tear the ground up and then reseed it. What do you guys do or would recommend? I think that I am also goin with the feed store seed this fall because I am far more pleased with its results. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Mowing right after it comes to seed over the summer should help. Overseeding in the fall would certainly also help thicken it up as well, but dont know that I would mow it real low in the fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdoc Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 over seed in the fall right before a good rain--that will hekp thicken it up. I wouldn't do the light discing since the clover is in it's first year--I would be worried the root system isn't quite deep enough yet to handle that. I would over-seed in the fall--mow right after over seeding so the clipping can act like mulch for the seed and pray for rain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
