Aaron H:
Cool

Hawkdancer:
They look very healthy!  They will start on the regular apples before too long?  Sweet clover is also a delicasey(sp) in the deer diet!  They will also go on high alert when the season opens :-D (SH) (lol)!

bjrogg:
We seed sweet clover in our wheat crop so after the wheat is harvested the clover grows as a cover crop. It helps protects the soil from wind and water erosion. It also is a legume and puts nitrogen in the soil for other crops. The deer love it and it last late into fall even though winter with snow cover. If I were planning on trying to establish a food plot Clint. I'd suggest spreading it on very early spring. We normally spread it with a atv and garden spreader on the frozen ground when snow is mostly gone.

PS I could probably give you a few more tips if you want to PM me.

osage outlaw:
Thanks for the advice BJ.  I'll try to remember to PM or text you in the spring. 

JEB:

Good photos Clint. Do the deer eat the fruits or the leaves?


Brian, are you saying to spread sweet clover over our food plots to help build our soil up in the spring. Our fields are cleared pine tree fields and the ground is sour. Right now I planted buckwheat, rape and rye for fall plots.
