If you try planting clover this fall, you will probably not have a good yield. Clover is very pickey, so all you ducks have to be in a row(ph, fert, moisture). Another thing you have to remember about clover is that it is a perennial. Perennials have to be maintainted(mowing, weed control). While it is very fun to maintain food plots year round, most people dont have the time or equipment. You cannot just plant clover one year and expect to do nothing after that. I have seen many people spend tons of money on planting clover, and then never do the yearly maintaince it takes to keep it going. Clover is a legume just like alfalfa, so it must be mowed. If you are doing just small hunting plots, I think annuals are the way to go. Most annual varieties are very hardy(they are very tolerant to drought and acidic soils). You dont have to worry about weed control( as long as you take care of the weeds em before you plant). They are truly a plant em and forget em (maybey a fertilizer treatment is all you would have to do after the initial planting). Another nice thing about annuals is that if you dont like the spot, plant somewhere else next year. You seen my favs in my previous post. If you wanna do clover, wait till spring.
