[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5294372, member: 2805"] dont need snow, what you really want is decent moisture in the soil, then the ground itself to freeze causing surface cracks overnight so the tiny seed falls down in the cracks, then as the day goes on and the ground thaws, the cracks seal back up covering the seed. The more freeze-thaw-refreeze cycles, the better. It works fairly well, I used to do 3lbs ladino per acre in my fescue hayfields several years ago. got pretty good stands in areas of the field had partial shade, but the ladino just didn't survive through the hot summers in the middle of the fields. Im NOT a clover food plot expert, but I would imagine prepping a seedbed, planting clover with a cover crop such as wheat in the fall, then frost seeding bare areas the following Feb would work much better to establish a clover only plot than just frost seeding in February.
