[Football Hunter]

That is the question.My three bottom plots are pretty high,clover up about 10 inches or so.But with no rain in the forecast until next weekend ,according to TWC,Im not to sure about mowing ?Any thoughts?The dang weeds are getting high.

[PickettSFHunter]

Wait and dont mow it lower than 5 inches. IMO anyway

The best thing I did this year was to throw a pre-emergent down in my clover. I threw it out in March, and will do again the end of May. $20.00 a bag, 0-0-7. Last for 3 months or so.

So far I do not have any weeds, just some grass that was already existing.

just an idea.

Don't mow it until just after a rain, I have been tricked before with rain that never came as forecast...

Been there to,especially when planting

going to be cool enough the first part of the week, clip it high

I would mow it, you can't hardly kill the stuff. Look at everyone's yards that has mowed them and the clover is flourishing. I say mow it and then the rain will give it another drink and all is well.

Good point,I have to spray and spray to get rid of it in my yard.

Isnt that funny, I fert, lime, and spray to have a good stand of weeds (clover). Yet I spray to keep it out of my yard.

go figure.

I would mow around the weeds. Really, weeds are a good thing for
the deer. I have seen deer bypass lush clover to get to some
fresh "weeds", many times.
