[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 4549564, member: 1409"] If you can simply selectively spray to eliminate grasses (such as fescue, but good luck on that), the weeds that are "forbs" can greatly increase your amount of forage, and are in fact often "preferred" by the deer over whatever we plant. I often see deer picking the native ragweed out of a nice clover plot, while seeming to ignore the clover. Whatever you do, try to offer a compatible mixture, since different plant species mature at different times, and some are more hearty in either dry or wet conditions. Plant a variety of clovers and chicory, not just a single one, and allow your native forbs to co-exist with your clover plot ---- just try to eliminate the foreign grasses. [/QUOTE]
