Seeding Clover with Oats for Pasture Use
Clover is sometimes seeded with oats for pasture. If not pastured closely and livestock are kept from trampling when wet, clover should succeed. The chances improve if the oats are cut for hay.
Sandy and clay soils contrast in texture and needs
The chief virtue of sandy soils is rapid root penetration and quick drying, while clay soils retain water but tend to pack hard. Both soil types benefit from stable manure. The manure loosens clay and helps sand retain moisture, improving overall soil condition.
