Hi All got a question about seeding red or white clover OVER existing grass/weeds. Let me explain.. Ive been a part time xmas tree/ bb nursery stock grower for over 15 years. Little over 10 acres of trees and a few transplant beds.. nothing major. In all that time I have always mowed to keep the grass down (and even used electric hand shears to clip the weeds..) Yes I’m a glutton for punishment. (I don’t like to use roundup like sprays either.) In trade mag I read about a guy who uses clover as the ground cover to keep the weeds down. This got me thinking is it possible to seed clover over top of the existing grass/weeds or would I have to kill all the grass/weeds and then seed the clover? I don’t even know how you sow clover..nor do I have a way to seed it if it requires special equip..so keep that in mind. So in your opinion is this feasible or would I be wasting my time and $$. (In my area both the red and white clover grow really well naturally..its all I have in the back yard and when its thick nothing seems to grow thru it...) Appreciate any feedback. dave
