Just picked up a lease that the food plots have not been planted or cut in at least 2-3 years. Lots of broom sedge, briar and tall weeds that I’m not sure the name of. I have since bush hogged the plots and wanted to plant durana clover. I don’t want to disc the plots (kinda rocky soil) if I don’t have to, I have a boom sprayer and planned on spraying once we get some green up in a few weeks and just planting seed and letting the weeds I kill help cover the clover seed. Do you guys think it’s possible to establish a clover plot in the spring or am I wasting time and money? It is possible. But Id feel better if it would be burned down (chemically) prior to seeding. Sure clethodim and 2,4d-b can be used after, but I think you'd get a better initial stand without the competition. I think Ive read on here that alabama spring planted clover can have some stuggles too, so there is that to consider based on soil moisture this summer. Guys on here will have more insight into that. My local seed supplier quoted me $150 for red clover and $190 for ladino last week ( last year red was $85). My opinion is go ladino any time prices are that close. I wouldnt go durana because you have soany unknowns. You can always overseed with durana later. I say this because itll be $260ish and Id hate to waste the money if it wont establish (you dont know anything about the soil).

100% wait until fall. You will thank yourself, (and myself), later. Have done it both ways. Huge successes in the fall, and guaranteed burn up come summer on a spring plant. Roots must have that double establishment period of fall then spring. My educated opinion. Good luck!

I'd go with buckwheat and peas for the time being and get your ground right to plant your clovers this fall.
What you do today, you have to sleep with tonight.
