I just planted 100# of hubam, 100# of ladino, 50# of white dutch, 50# of alfalfa, 50# of crimsom, 100# yellow sweet, 100# chicory. I have a few ounces of various colored anise hyssop I'll plant after I get a chance to mow the grass down really short. That should add some color. There is already chicory, birdsfoot trefoil, white and yellow sweet clover, echinacea, asters, ironweed, goldenrod, alfalfa. Two years ago I planted 60 trees including peach, pear, apple, cherry, plum, basswood, beebee tree. I already have a lot of black locust. What I want to master is WHEN and how high to mow the grass to optimize the clover and the chicory and minimize the grass and the weeds (pigweed, dock, poison hemlock etc.). Any suggestions? Considering the cost of seed I've been considering buying a drill (I've been broadcasting it with a 3 point hitch rig).
