I have tried to plant clover in the past and haven’t had the best luck. My first big problem is the seed is so small. Any advice on planting clover, or any other plant that would be just as good?

Kevin,

There are several options depending on the planting method being used. If you are using the broadcast method, sand can be mixed with the clover seed to serve as a filler so a larger volume can be broadcast. As to your question about crop selection, the crop selected should be picked for the mission it is to serve. There are perennials, annuals, browse tolerant, extremely palatable, etc. It is important to match the crop with the mission of the plot!
