[QUOTE="Antler Dirt John, post: 4151218, member: 15364"] When you say daylight, do you mean sunlight? Clover needs sunlight, the more the better but I have seen some decent clover plots in the woods with 35 to 50% sunlight. Moisture is another important factor, make sure the surrounding trees don't rob all of the moisture. Also many pay way too much for seed in those small packages when many of the Tennessee Farmers Coop stores will sell you a comparable variety loose out of the big bags for far less per lb. You might want to mix varieties of clover also and throw in some wheat to help hold the soil and protect the young clover. Next September hand sow purple top turnips, dicon radishes into the clover it will loosen your soil, mine deep nutrients and provide additional pounds of forage for the deer. Do not be afraid to mow your clover plots to help control weeds and increase sunlight to the clover. Soil samples are always a good idea. Woodland leaves can pose a problem. Be prepared to rake or mow to remove leaf fall. A layer of leaves covering the ground will kill most plants. [/QUOTE]
