I love the idea of planting clover

[Dirtyhip]

My spouse is on board.  Found some seed.  Don't like the look of the bag cause hubby grumbles every time they roam on the pump track.  So, I am going to have to get this into another receptacle pronto. He will not like the looks of this.

Its called Holy Clover.

And don't tell me to shoot them.  I live in resi

I am confused. What does clover have to do with deer hunting?

Deer eat clover. Hunters eat deer. Plant clover and your meat comes to you.

Thanks!  So Kevin is on board even though it will attract deers, which he hates and can’t schoost, to the pump track. Hip really has him bamboozled!

You plant this as a cover crop and the deer will get nice and comfy and fat where this is planted.  

[smudge ★]

Yes! Plant clover! I love that plan.

[Parr8hed]

I had a bunch of clover in my yard a few years ago you could have had for free!  We done kilt it off and have grass now.  We get some sort of an acorn off the maple in the front yard.  Actually I think it's a pin oak now that I think about it.  Anyways, the deers love them.  I leave for work and there will be 5-6 deer in my yard fairly routinely when those nuts are dropping.

It is being planted on our property for the bees and to hopefully choke out other grasses.  He does not realize that this will bring them in more.  I'm gonna hide the bag and put the seed in this big plastic bin we have.  Problem solved.  

Not sure what I will say when the deer population increases dramatically.  Although, we seem to have a ton anyway.  They eat a bunch of my plants.  I will just give them "other" things to munch on. I wanted to put a water trough out near our giant elderberry bush.  He told me that he didn't want that.  He told me that there is a large water trough on the property below us.   I have confirmed that they do have water there, so I dropped that.  Now, I plan to invest in a clover meadow.  I think if I heavily seed our property it will not only be beautiful, but it will be a vast ecosystem providing food and shelter to deer, rabbit, and whatever animals wish to reside here.

You killed the clover for grass?  That is so eville.  Did Ralph put you up to that?

[Parsnip Totin Jack ★]

Our front yard is clover. If I killed it off, my yard wouldn’t be green. To keep the deer from eating up my garden plants I made a spray I call deer stink. Makes one gallon: three eggs, 1/2 cup milk or yogurt, a few cloves smashed garlic and three Tblsp cayenne pepper. Blend together with some water. Add to gallon jug and fill with water. Allow to ferment for a day then apply to the plants you don’t want the deer to eat. Reapply after rain. It takes a few months to train the deer but once they learn they avoid my hostas and other plants.

If you live in a residential neighbourhood, this is important.  My neighbours would be pissed if I intentionally planted an invasive plant while they spend thousands every year for perfect grass.  Not only that but I hate bees.  Probably because of the allergic reaction when I get stung.  But, some like clover and some like dandelions.  I am neither of those.

Ohhhh that’s a great idea, but there is a low spot that holds water in the middle of the yard.. I don’t know what vehicle would have a better chance making it

Lots of grass seed is invasive. 

I am certain you know the history of lawn.  We like to embrace our pauper background.  Lawn seems silly here. This place has already been seeded with alfalfa at some point.  It is all over.  Just patchy. Most of it is rye grass.

I've always had clover in my yard.  As a kid, a man a few doors away kept bees and they loved the clover flowers.

We kids in the neighborhood, often in bare feet, got stung so often that, by the time we were around 12 years-old, we virtually became immune to the honey bee stings like some snake keepers do to some extent after years of venomous bites.  If we got stung, we just kept on playing and ignored it.

Last year, reaching across my body to grab a water bottle while on a walk, I accidentally trapped a bee between my arm and chest and it stung my arm.  By the time I got back to my car I didn't even notice it any more.

The deer will stay by the clover and avoid the food free pump track.  That is my story and I am sticking to it

Just tell him your plan is that they like clover so they will stay where the clover is and off the pump track, so problem solved!

Unless they have to cross the pump track to get to the clover.  If you've spent time in a RPC you know how that goes.  If not ask @Longjohn

Crabgrass is good when you have kids playing on the lawn and riding vehicles. They can’t hurt it. I plant milkweed on all the neighbors property. I grow it for the butterflies and when the seed pods dry out and we have a windy day I shake the seed pods and release all the seeds with their parachutes into the wind.

Always go to the source.  On the Roundup website, in the written portion, the actual company writes their own name as one word.

One word. A “compound word.” Your initial statement was correct. But spell it as one word. 

[Longjohn ★]

You’re probably not going to walk around in your yard barefoot if you manage to get clover to grow. Honey bees will stay on the clover and let you step on them. Then they will sting you and die.
