[QUOTE="shorty, post: 580094, member: 187"] I don't know what the right seeding rate would be , but I don't think you should mix all the seeds together if you are using a spinner type spreader . The clover will fly out much further than the grasses will so if you the right distance apart for the clover the grasses won't cover and if you drive so the grasses cover you will be over lapping the clover . so you might want to seed the clover seperately and then mix they grasses and the tim. together and drive closer when you seed them, your seeder might have a chart with seeding widths for different seeds and fertilizer , clover should spread out about the same as fertilizer , years ago we seeded clover in the wheat as a cover crop for the next year . the fert. place put in a mixer to make their own fert. so we took our seed along and had them mix it in . The first year we spread it I drove the way I always did for for fert. but the clover didn't fly out quite as far , and I had strippers , so after that I drove just a little closer and both seemed to be fine . If it's mixed good enough it works but I don't think it would work with the grasses . As long as you can mix it good enough it should work. [/QUOTE]
