Creeping alfalfa

[farmguy]

Any one have any experience with creeping alfalfa?

We put some in some 40 ft water ways that we hay. probably about 8 yrs. old. We only take 2 crops/year. I think we seeded it with Italian Rye grass and birds foot trefoil. It is holding up very good, have not noticed it thinning at all. It does not creep in to the field as much as B.F.T. Yield and feed quality much better than straight grass.

I think he's talking about puttin alfalfa in a creep feeder. Been wrong before though.

You are more then likely right.Never thought of that.

No I mean varieties of alfalfa that spread by lateral roots.

I used it in a blend with four other legumes
