I have never been able to grow sweet corn and clover together from the start. Corn competes too >much for nutrients and moisture. I have been able to inter seed vetch into corn after the corn was 3 >ft tall. The vetch gets going right about the time the corn is being picked so there is little >competition. This method was very common in the early 20th century before herbicides... Bob.
