A guy I work with has a small place in the country. He wants to kill the grass on a small plot of land and seed it to clover for the deer. He said it is grass and some scattered multiflora rose. He wants to spray it with Roundup to kill the grass, and something to control the multiflora rose. I told him it needed to warm up to use Roundup with any effect. I suggested he check with the SCS and see if they had a no till drill he could rent to plant it. Another fellow told him to plow it up and then seed it. Marv only has a 25hp Ford compact tractor and loader and no equipment. He lives about 25 miles from me, across the Mississippi and thru town to boot. I would like to help him out, but my old equipment doesn't like to get that far from home, thru town no less. Could he wait until it warms up and spray it with Roundup, wait a few days and broadcast clover on top of the ground and let the dead grass cover the seed to get it started?? How late in the year can you plant clover and expect it to grow? Any suggestions on how to go about this project?? Thanks, Chris
