I’ve got some white clover I didn’t plant this summer. The plan was to add it to the Alsike and Trefoil plot.
If I still have bare ground the day I’m leaving is it a waste of time and seed to go for a dormant seeding out there? I have plenty plot bare ground for it.
Anybody done this successfully?

If you've got bare ground, put it down. I assume your plot is relatively flat?

Flat flat. Yep.

It’s not TOTALLY bare. But about 80% where I’d put this.

Here’s some clover I seeded at least twice in August and September that never germinated until late October due to the drought we had. That’s why it’s so thick. What are the odds this survive the winter? There’d been brassicas in there that got demolished early due to drought.   |

What are the odds this survive the winter? There’d been brassicas in there that got demolished early due to drought. It's a weed, and a third of it is "hard seed" thus ensuring it's survival. It's one of the few seeds that hasn't had viability bred out of it. Weeds survive no matter what. |
