LC is mixing 6-8oz per acre of 53% gly. I assume the 53% gly is a little stronger than the normal 41%. Therefore you could probably get away with a little more per acre when using 41%. I sprayed my clover plots the 3rd week of May with my BP sprayer. I used 5-6oz of cleth/ 2.5-3oz 41% gly/...

I was reading on ed spinns website that he recommends, when using a 4 gallon BP sprayer, 8oz of gly to rid the weeds in his clover plots. That's 2 oz per gallon. Does this seem hot to you or is that about right? Also, ed suggested only doing this on clover that is 3 years old or older. Can you...

ed spinn says in a 4 gallon BP sprayer he uses a cup or 8oz of round up. IN his case he is saying 2oz per gallon is "light". I know when I need a good burn I will use 3-4oz per gallon and it kills everything. I personally would probably go a little ligher than that and put 1.25-1.5 oz per gallon...

Just mowed mine yesterday. Not much chance of rain in the next few days, but the highs are only suppose to be in the mid to lower 70's. Thought I would mow it now and not wait until it gets up in the 90's/

I watched all three parts...best series on HC right now. My aunt on my mother's side married into the Hatfield family. I got a chance to call her up and ask her about the history and she said her husband was a cousin to that clan I guess. Pretty neat stuff!

i purchased an additional 16 acres that adjoined the rest of my farm 3 years ago. I went through FCS. They wanted 25% down but I got them down to 15%. I did have to sign an agreement saying that I am buying this land with the "intent" to build a house on it. I asked if I have to build on it...

I have a heard a lot of good things about Jumbo Ladino and Alice so I did a 1/2 mix of each. 12# of alice and 12# of JL. Will frost seed about 2 acres at the rate of 10-12# per acre. With shipping from welters it came out to about $4.70 a pound.

only one white clover to use when frost seeding, which would it be? I am torn right now between alice, ladino and kopo II. Due to the handling charges at welters I am trying to stick to only one to try and cut down on cost.

One of my clover plots look like the one above that is burned up. Do you suggest possibly broadcasting some more clover into it this fall or maybe even winter rye to "green" it up a little?

So lets say for instance I am getting an acre coverage with my BP sprayer. Therefore, I would mix in 20-28oz of cleth???? I just had someone PM me and recommend me using 8oz per acre. Seems like there is a broad range of rates for this herbicide. Can you kill the clover if you put down too much...

I will be spraying my clover plots here soon. My plots are fairly small (1/8th-1/2 acre) in size. I will be using a backpack sprayer that holds up to 4 gallons of water (although I usually only fill it up to 3 gallons). When reading the label on clethodim, it said for spot spraying and hand...

When mixing red and white clovers, how many pounds of each do you use per acre? From my understanding, one should plant clover at around 6-8# per acre. Therefore, do you go heavier on the white than reds when mixing the two together? For example 5# of alice or other white clover 3# of...

Two-a-days........the reason I got out of high school coaching. I enjoy middle school much better, you actually make money :) Our high school two-a-days are usually the first two weeks in August. I don't know how yours work. I would just find a time your off and plant on a Sunday (unless you...

I'm in the same boat as you. I also teach/coach and I am very busy in August with football practice. I think this year I planted LC's cereal grain mix on 8/20 and the plot turned out awesome. I have planted this mix as early as mid-August with no negative effects. Keep in mind my plots are...
