Well long story short... I have a food plot in Ohio that was planted with clover and chicory for the past several years. My bush hog mower was broken and I haven't gotten over to mow. It has been taken over by weeds. My plan was to redo it this year anyways. I was hoping to get out this weekend and mow and round up then plant next weekend. But, my mower wasn't finished at the shop. So, is it too late to worry about now? Should I scrap it and wait until next spring? Or hopefully mow/roundup next weekend and plant a chicory/clover the next? Thoughts? Suggestions?

Still time. I'd say if you can get it in the ground by the first of September you'll be fine.

You still have time to turn and plant , but are you sure you can't save what you have by spraying arrest and mow it in a couple weeks ? I use Labor Day as my cut off for any new plots going in the ground .

By the way I am talking about NE Ohio.
Will Arrest kill my chicory that is already mixed with the clover and weeds?

I use arrest on my Tecomate Moster mix which is clover and chicory mix and it does a great job. I have read that Arrow will work also , but have never used it though. I usually mow and then spray and at times didn't think it would bounce back and it did even in the drought summer we had awhile back. I plan on mowing my clover and spraying one more time in September .

I think I might try this at least to get me through to next spring. Thank you for the advice guys!

Mid to late August is prime time to plant fall planting as long as you get some rain. We are redoing some plot's this weekend. We are tilling strips in some older imperial whitetail clover stands with a tiller and planting forage oats in some strips and turnips/rape in other strips thus leaving some clover as well as the fall blends. Then we will totally reseed clover plots in spring when there is plenty of mositure in soil. Good luck.

FINALLY got ours in. The ground finally dried up enough to prepare the seed bed, Ground is still very moist so germination should take place immediately . Oats (major), rye, radishes and sugar beets….   |
