What summer plantings do you find more beneficial to the wildlife than established clover?
Corn!!!……..JK
In my opinion clover is the single best plant you can grow during the summer if you have good soil moisture. When I’m done experimenting here in my test field….all I plan on doing in the future is growing clover and “weeds” during the summer. All of that other stuff like sunn hemp, cowpeas, etc… is really not necessary for most folks nor will it really change much when you’re talking about growing ½ acre of it or something similar. Folks love to plant summer plots though so I’m going to play with a few options before going plain Jane with it. Once more folks like bambam and turkey neck begin to have success using this method, then folks will begin using their own variations of it and it won’t be as important that I show the different possibilities with my test plot. Right now I’m just trying to show what all can be done.
