- Should you frost seed clover? Maybe...maybe NOT. This video will teach you the best way to plant clover, based on a wealth of experience learned while planting clover and teaching others how to do the same, since 1995. Here are the most proven ways to plant clover. Frostseeding clover planters beware...
You can find out if planting a clover food plot is a fit for your specific parcel, by enrolling in my latest land design web class, at:

I''m just trying to figure out how to grow clover as a lawn alternative, I have no idea about this herd stuff but sounds like a unique specialty. For researchers like me, maybe put "herd" in the title to help target in on a search specific to a baby boomer, sedentary, senior woman lol.
I'm trying to also grow clover as lawn alternative, here in South Texas
@@tommyfleur7649 I planted mine in the DFW area 3 weeks ago. It's spotty but it is coming up. It's a small seed and it's been very windy.
That’s why I’m here lol
Same. I'm not gonna have deer running around in my city. Lol
@@El_Jeffe 😂
We planted clover seed inoculated with Rhizobium bacteria last fall and the results were phenomenal with better germination and growth
I keep just 1/2 acre in clover at all times. I have fall brassica hunt plots that go in after buckwheat flowers. I also have some really rank old pasture areas that I will plant this fall with red and white clover, oats and orchard grass to make a new meadow. Clover is useful in many applications.
Although there were many great tips in todays video, the point that really resonated with me was....if... you have to clip it 2, 3, 4 times a year you have too much at a time when there is plenty...thanks for new ideas and for strengthening the faith in existing ideas...
Someone needs to make a poster of Jeff walking through a field with his earth way, this guys legend
T shirt. He's the "Bob Ross" of food plots.
I'm planting clover to prepare for bees.
I’ve been doing a clover plot for 8 years now but you have convinced me to switch to buckwheat followed by cool season annuals this year. I see a huge decline in deer mid to late October every year when the clover dies out and hoping to hold them longer this year, thank you for all your great info!
Hi Sir, love to view your content on any and all habitat issues. You are far and away the best source out-there!
Basically exactly what we are doing lol. Got the clover/chicory because we want to build the herd and really get to see what deer are in the area. We will have Egyptian wheat screening for the edges of the plot then we will be drilling beans into it for the mid and late season. Combination of things I want to try and things you have taught me and things I have been learning in my QDMA classes.
That was very informative, answers alot of my same questions, with your book we ordered will be great. I also own 68 acres property southern zone ny
Farmers planted clover with oats for ever here after the oats come off you usaully end up with a nice clover field seem it alot back in the day not so much anymore are area is just straight rye here and beans after that if the rye comes off early some farmers burn down the rye and no till corn but back in day alot of guys planted oats and clover to reclaim hay fields
Thanks Jeff 👍 Appreciate the content as always! Have a great day all!
Thanks a lot Mike, you too!
Very good video Jeff. I have some friends who need to hear this one. I have had a quarter acre plot in a wooded area for ten years. It servers very well as a hunting plot. Talking “clover” as good or bad is a general term for plots. I have found (the hard way) it makes a big difference whether someone is planting annual or perennial clover and equally important which species for their location and soil type. Last fall I added annual crimson clover to my rye and wheat planting. The deer see to be enjoying that plot. There you go again -chicory. Have you had your chicory coffee yet?
Has always Jeff you got some absolutely marvellous information keep it coming please I know it's got to be tough to do your business plus do these freebies but I'm sure that the hunting public loves you for it I know I do
I love your content and watch your videos for valuable information. I have some property in southern WV. I just don't like the thought of burning my ground with glyphosate. I'd rather just take a flail mower to it and be done. I also like to incorporate native wildflowers for pollinators. I know this sounds hippie-ish, but have you ever thought about doing some stuff regarding a more natural food plots that not only incorporates habitat improvement for whitetail but also other critters/pollinators. I believe there would be a market for this. Just thinkin'
I put down 6 pounds in my yard here in Minnesota. August 12 2021. We are very dry here this summer.
Great explanation of why and what to plant.
Thank you for the video. Can you give information about your black and red clover spreader?
Hi Dave! That's an Earthway model 2750. They run about $70 and last a couple of years depending on how much seed and fertilizer you run thru them
Great information. We don’t use any chemicals, and I’ve read that clover is actually use to control and choke out weeds. No?
Thanks for another great informational video! It's tough to know when to apply that last spraying of glyphosate when the soil temps are bouncing around. Don't want to kill the switch, but want to make sure the weeds are really set back.
Thanks Johnny! The cool thing is that we are still a month + away from SG germination in all of WI and MI. When corn is germinating is a good guide...
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 Do you mean when the corn is sprouting in the soil, or just coming through the surface?
Depending on your location and whether you're referring to an established SG planting or something newly frost seeded, matters immensely. In SE Michigan, last years switch is already sprouting, glyphosate in anything established could be disastrous with the early Spring we've had.
As always another masterpiece great video Jeff
Third time watching always looking for more information thanks Jeff
Is it a good idea to throw some white common clover right before the snow? . I'm not planting for deer to eat just want to have a good layer of clover to boost the nitrogen levels in my food Forest and witch would be better red clover or common white clover
I always love your videos and the online class! I've listened to that 5 times now. I'm creating plots and and 1st layer bedding in an existing meadow. I am thinking of strips of clover with weeds in the bedding area to keep the food quality low but still have some while shrub plantings establish.
Are the clover strips advisable and do you have any idea where I can buy weed seeds?
Good question. I have a meadow I planned to plant in. But find many beds inside it. Might just plant strips around the spots I see beds.
Very informative, Liked & subscribed
Try the glyphosate infused seeds - no need to mow after that.
🙃
And give you future cancers if you breathe it while spreading. Banned everywhere else in the developed world. For good reason.😊
I live up here in the great state of Maine. I have a camp in about mid-east of the state. By the sounds of what you have been saying, It doesn't sound like I should be planting clover on my small food plot out in the woods. The area around my camp has a cornfield about 2 miles away and a bunch of apple trees about a mile away in the opposite direction. Any suggestions on what would be a good thing to plant in about a 1/2 acre plot in the woods to get the timing right for November?
Hi Jeff - currently preparing seed beds for clover planting later. I’ve done my liming but I still need to fertilize. Should I fertilizer before throwing seed down or after? For clover or otherwise.
Can you do a video on how swamps affect deer and how to hunt them
What is the name of the product that can be sprayed on grass and clover but will kill weeds?
Great video, in Gould city in the up what is the best food plot program to growing a deer herd? 200 acres of pine and swamp.
Cuando es el mejor tiempo aquí en el northe de Texas para plantar crimson clover
I would rather have clover under the fruit trees than grass.
What product did you say you used at 4:26 sounds like glyphosate?
Where is switch grass available at.
Thank you.
You are very welcome Carson!
How about frost seeding into last years rye? Will that increase success? When would you terminate the rye in the spring ?
Hi Nic I actually wouldn't encourage frost seeding ever? You would want to wait until weeds are present, then broadcast and kill same day...
Better yet just waiting until late summer plantings...
OK, I am confused. On the one hand you said you can plant clover with rye as a nurse crap, then you said you should never plant them together, and if you find them in a bag at the store together not to buy it. Help me understand this. I must’ve missed something. Thanks Jeff!
Never rye grass...not rye grain. Can combine clover with oats, rye, wheat, brassica in the late summer plantings.
Never combine brassica with rye, wheat or oats. That's when you can tell someone creating the mix doesn't have enough experience to be selling seed.
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 Great! Thanks for the clarification! I plan on planting rye/clover in my plots late summer in my new property. Thanks for your helpful content!
I liked the video until you started on the chemicals.. no thanks
It's either chemicals...or big, heavy equipment burning fuel, tearing up top soil, creating erosion thru multiple tilling and drying out soil...or chemicals. I choose chemicals for food plots, or I wouldn't plant them. This of course while being surrounded by 1000s of acres of chemically controlled corn, bean and hay production while the farmers use more chemicals than in 1 year, than I go thru in a lifetime.
Hi Jeff! I have a question about waterholes with mock scrapes, so I have two bedding areas about 600 yards apart and the original place I was going to put the mock scrape/Water Hole was in one of those bedding areas, but I dont know if thats good to pit Water holes in a bedding area, should I just put it in the woods and leave the bedding areas alone? Or should I put in on an edge of the pasture? Your thoughts?
I have a question for you Jeff or anyone else they can answer my question. I did some frost seating earlier this year with some Egyptian wheat. Now I’m second-guessing myself and wondering if there if it will ever come up.? Do you know if that was a waste of time or will that be successful?
Great information as always.
Jeff, if you plant in thirds on a large plot as you describe with clover and an cool season annuals, you don't utilize the buckwheat method on the two thirds of the one and two year old clover plantings only the new third?
Hi Jeff! Another question.
In your last EZ no Till plot video you said you don’t want the food near your borders so the deer don’t bed on their land.
In the case of a long skinny property (93yards widex450 yards long) would you say make the food in a u shape back by your house and bedding at the other end of the property so you catch deer coming off the neighbors and direct them back to your bedding?
Or on a narrow property like this is bedding on your neighbors inevitable?
I guess what I’m asking is can you frost seed Egyptian Wheat?
You might have just stopped me from planting a spring plot. KSP
How do these instructions apply to the southeast? I’m in Ga, specifically.
Now I am torn. I bought a bag of clover from Northwoods Whitetail a year or two ago and never planted. Was thinking about planting in a few areas but do not want to encourage a doe factory. Am I better just not planting it?
I am in the Grand Rapids, MI area so likely to not last long enough into the fall.
You mention spraying clover with a light dose of glyphosate for weeds. Wont it kill off the clover?
Clover, once established...is quite resilient. Many times I have nuked plots in round up & the clover survives. So some guys use a 1/2 dose of generic roundup so they don’t have to spend the money on the expensive Cleth & B200. But I personally get the selective herbicide.
Jeff, how much chicory should I add to the clover to aid in drought tolerance. You said 1lb. Does that bean 1lb of chicory per acre added to the normal rate of clover per acre? Thanks!
Yes, I believe that's what he said. Good Luck.
I ve watched this video a couple times now and I may have missed this but if I wanna plant clover and brassica and have it available for late fall I should plant both together around labor day? I'm in upstate NY btw
Nope, plant your clover by itself on it's own area,
Then plant brassicas in mid July, beginning of August, in it's own area or next to clover
Don't plant them together because they will compete against each other, this your plot will suffer.
It's March!!!!!
Yep, I saw that change 18 days ago 👍😊
Could I plant clover in an already growing oats plot?
That’s how I did mine...broadcasted durana clover into a no till wheat plot established a month earlier. It’s the best clover plot I have outta 3 on my club.
As easy as rye. I've tried rye twice no luck at all
BIG PROBLEM!!!! You can not use any herbicide to get rid of weeds if you grow clover. They will all be killed off with all the weeds.
You can use 1 quart per acre of Glyphosate before a rainy period and it will not kill the clover. In fact clover is very resistant to a weaker herbicide like Glyphosate.
Been spraying it on clover for over 2 decades with great success...
Also 2-4DB works very well. Just read up on it and educate yourself 👍
Enough with these chemicals.
Get a mike my man
We always use a mic...the best mic in the industry actually. And always will 😉
