First plot for me and I can say that I am happy with the results overall. I planted 3 strips on this plot which is a roughly an acre. The left strip is WI Pure Attraction, the middle is WI Tall Tine Tubers, and the right strip is WI Fusion. The Pure Attraction and tubers are doing great but the clover is struggling. Any idea why? I waited 30 days and fertilized as recommended.
Clover is a cool season crop and it doesn't like dry weather. My guess is that it'll blow up after you get some cool weather and moisture. I don't know where you are or when you planted it.
I found with clover it needs time, the 1st pic is 2mths after I planted it and the 2nd 6mths. If you planted it in the last couple of mths then spring will be its time to shine.
We gambled this spring and planted Pinnacle, white, Clover this May. We planted it in an area that is shaded more than it is sunny. We only planted it this late because it was too wet in the spring. If it had been in a sunny area we wouldn't have planted it until this fall. We did just plant about 3 acres of Crimson Clover. It should really shine come spring!!
My clover plots look best in April and October, fwiw. In the dry heat of summer the clover kinda goes dormant and the weeds take over. Mow it a few times and bam, looks great in cool weather.
Like others have said, Clover just takes some time to establish. I planted this plot in the late summer last season. It didn't do much during the fall, but has turned out beautiful this year.
Thanks, guys! Guess ill have high hopes for the clover next year, good think I planted a few other mixes this year!
