    Ingredients

    Crimson Clover, Frosty Berseem Clover, Fixation Balansa Clover, Alfalfa, Rapeseed, Radish, Turnip, and GreenBoost 2.0 Biology Package

    Planting Instructions

    Northern Clover Release can be broadcast into areas with minimal plant competition such as a new plot or one where a seedbed has recently been prepared. It’s important that the seeds aren’t covered with more than 1/4” of soil. It can also be planted by using a no-till drill or other seeding device at a depth of 1/4 to 1/2". It can also be broadcast into an existing summer cover crop to extend the growing season into the fall and winter.

    Timing

    During the late summer, Northern Clover Release should be planted 6-8 weeks before the first expected frost of the season. It’s important that there’s adequate soil moisture or a good chance of rain in the forecast. This blend can also be planted during the spring when the soil temperature at 2” deep at 9:00 AM is 45 degrees or warmer. There are lots of websites that report the current soil temperature daily for each county.

    Seeding Rate

    Plant 20 pounds per acre when seeding with a no-till drill or other planting implement and 30 pounds per acre when broadcasting.

    arrived quickly and sprouted well after a couple of rainy days, hoping the turkey and deer don't eat it all before I get a chance to hunt over it
