[QUOTE="Dap, post: 587779, member: 2517"] I did just what you are thinking about, except it wasn't planned. I had a problem with my seeder and my clover ended up in perfect strips 20ft. wide (at double the intended rate), with 20ft. of fescue in between. Of course, the field was right along the road for everyone to see and I think every clover seed germinated. It didn't really stand out until after the first cutting of hay, that's when the clover took off. I divide that field into several paddocks after making hay. I was concerned about bloat, so I only moved them to a new paddock after the dew was gone just to be safe. It worked out ok, but I won't let it happen again. I'm trying to decide whether I should add a light rate of clover in the fescue strips, or just wait patiently for it to spread itself. I think every neighbor within 5 miles has asked me what I was doing with that field. [/QUOTE]
