Stop. Drop. And roll. I would either pelletize the seed in clay and broadcast it or simply spread the seed and roll it with a lawn roller. Most of it should come up either way, but pelletized seed tends to discourage predation by birds, etc.

I may have missed the answer if already given. Can you tell me how you plan to establish the clover ? Are you going to burn down with Roundup first ? We use up 50 bales of hay or straw each year trying to suppress weeds between rows. It is an itchy time consuming project. We would welcome the clover but haven’t figured out how to start it. Roto-tilling would be too close to roots also we have been told that ground seed contact is very important.

Thank you, Anthony z4b
