[QUOTE="WDS, post: 2529028, member: 1478"] I have tried just about everything over the past 10 years. Advantage did not do what was advertised. That was back in 2005. I have switched exclusively to Will Ladino. If you do your part on the planting and maintenence (i.e. MOW !!! ) it will do its job. I have one 5 acre food plot that is on its 7th year strong !!! Again, I mow the shat out of it, even when dormant to keep weed seed-out to a minimum !!! Fertilize it with 0-0-60 after it is established (2nd year). Clover thrives on potassium.... adding nitrogen will just encourage more grass/weed growth beyond what the clover is already placing in your soil. I cannot stress enough to keep your pH at 6.0 or higher. The more BASIC your soil, the better (basic meaning the higher the number, 6.0-7.5 is optimal. My Perry county soils stay between 6.0 - 6.8 after close watch on pH and pleanty of lime application. Bulk lime is cheap and VERY necessary to keep your plots in tip-top shape. Clover is our cool season staple at Cedar Point. My old Papa and I have been planting clover on different farms since 1990. We HAVE MADE EVERY MISTAKE KNOWN TO MAN !!!!!!
