Let me interject something here---use prairie hay for mulch because it doesn’t break down into small pieces like straw does and lasts much longer as a mulch.  Use prairie hay for your dog bedding---same reason plus no dust.

Subject: [NAFEX] special Living Mulch clover: Establishing Plans

 

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
