[QUOTE="Popcorn, post: 5815409, member: 20151"] For me it's crimson, ladino and arrowleaf, 25/50/25. That became my all season blend that would under normal circumstances withstand the browse and be there year round. I will also incorporate wheat into my clover plots, 50 lb per acre on established plots and 100 lbs per when planting new plots or re-establishing old plots. I have found my greatest successes in both Turkey and deer season by doing that. Wheat is quick to fill in, does not compete with clover, will absorb a lot of browse pressure while the clover spreads and gets a good start. I am not against durana and if I needed a fourth variety it would be considered. Changing up your blend is good and will help you fill in thin spots. I have grown many great seasons of clovers in some really challenging soils with this but I also interseed whenever a plot is struggling via drill when I can or I frost it in if need be. I must mention Balansa clover for it is amazing. It also has its sweet spot but as a stand alone variety nothing beats it. I don't commonly blend it as it is very aggressive, tall and will out compete other clovers.. Balansa cannot be beat for tonnage, it will grow in cooler weather than any other variety, is unbelievably browse tolerant. It is a champion of cool season clovers but you will be hard pressed to find a leaf in august. It will die from the heat end of July or early August but having done an incredible job of reseeding itself will come back strong by early October. Balansa is also very tolerant of a WIDE variety of soils [/QUOTE]
