You�re not really killing it if you keep your gly rate light�.you�re just stunting it for a moment to give your new seedlings a chance to establish before the clover returns. Were talking about in fields of thick established clover. This is where the flexibility of this method comes into play though. You can really choose to do whatever you want from that point. If I had a field that would grow a nice crop of durana all summer mixed with a smattering of weeds and grass then I might be apt to do very little during the summer. Other folks may want to add some things to the mix and grow a summer crop. In that situation the clover may need to be suppressed for a moment depending on the conditions. In the book I posted a link to awhile back�.the Japanese farmer in the book flooded his field for a week before spring planting in order to weaken his white clover and allow the other plants to establish. This is not really an option for the majority of us so alternative methods will have to be used. Some of you who see flooding in your fields may be able to do it just like the Japanese farmer and plant right after the floods. Again though, these are just options that folks may or may not choose to do.
