[QUOTE="dun, post: 1149934, member: 34"] "Usually" fescue will out compete lespedeza and crabgrass. [u]Usually[/u]. But usually it will also out copete clover. I woldn;t do anything about the existing clover, within a year or so the fescue will overcome it. There are just some years that are clover years. This year we have clover where it's never been before, at least in the past 15 years it hasn;t. If it's strictly for hay, mixing WSG and CSG in the same field rarely works out. The have such different managment. WSG should be cut no lower then 6 inches, most times fescue is cut much shorter then that. If I was going to palnt something with the intentions of haying it in a mixed field I would drill something like Marshall rye grass. After it's cut and baled the fescue would come back just fine. The drawback being that you would have to do it every year. [/QUOTE]
