Ball Clover January 2011

Below are some pictures showing the state of development of ball clover in our test plot on 2 January 2011. On the left where the sheep and horses grazed the grass close to the ground, and to the left of Jack, the clover has started up quite well. A very dense stand of clover reseeded itself as shown by the closeup, below. And to no surprise, on the left where there is a heavier thatch of old bahia grass and sticky/brushy weed remnants that the animals left, the clover is not germinating. In the background of the left picture is part of our sheep working pens and equipment.
