[QUOTE="Boll Weevil, post: 3709585, member: 10006"] The only thing I'd watch for regarding when to lime/fertilize is dormancy; durana will go dormant if it turns dry during the hottest part of the summer. It'll look dead but it's not...just alseep. Slightly cooler temps combined with rain and it bounces right back and begins putting on new growth again for fall and winter. That's when I typically fertilize. Of course last year, mine stayed green all summer with all the rain we had so it's not always certain to go dormant. Personally, I wouldn't sow anything else in it...just maintain a healthy clover stand as best you can. 2 acres is some serious tonnage of great food if you can sustain it. In addition to longevity, two other benefits of this variety is ability to compete well against weeds/grasses and nearly year-round green under all but the harshest conditions. I have a little over 6 acres scattered about the farm and maintain it by simply mowing and feeding it a little every so often. Whatever you choose, good luck to you. [/QUOTE]
