Thanks for the article @cannabliss a good read, on a side note from Information Iāv gathered at other sources when bacteria are on leaf surfaces (phylosphere) such as in applications of compost teas and such bacteria can provide Nitrogen through leaf surfaces as well!

Is all clover perennial? If so, none of us will ever get rid of it

Hmm, I assume it attracts stoner deer?

I think itās climate dependent but dunno for sure; Most of the stuff Iāve seen grows back after dying off so Iām inclined to say YES.
No kiddingā¦ all they need is a grow light & some nutirient PK booster to match their ātribal tatoo artā & agro-testosteroney image. Some advertising clown from Maximum Yield working on the side!

Dude I used to use that for feed plot for deer. It is unbelievable!
as to being perennial, it is. Even with deer munching on it (and also a goat) and snow and ice, it would come back every year. I would supplement it, but for this use, it should be forever.

Excellent news.
I may try some out this year but Iām mostly OCDāing about weed-eradication (the bad kind) until I have a clean slate to work with.
Thanks for the info-- first hand always the best!

I canāt remember the name, but there was a product I used, for my vegetable area, a few years ago that worked great. You spray it on and within a week everything was gone. It states you can grow in two weeks from application, though I gave it an extra week. I found no ill effect on the garden. I canāt remember whether it is āorganicā or not, but I will see if I still have the bottle around and let you know.

Actually, it wasnāt, as far as I remember. I always hated those because you had to wait so long, like 6-8 weeks before you could plant there or it would kill off what you were trying to grow. I am planning a trip into the hell hole that is the garage tomorrow (have to find a safety line long enough to find my way outā¦ 
) I will take a look. If it is anywhere, it will be there.

Have you tried mulching. Iāve used cardboard as mulch then put something to hold it down if you dont have wood chips to put over it. It kills the weeds and I think the critters like the cardboard.

If you want to kill everything and use no chemicals just cover it with black plastic for a few months and let it bake.

Iāve read glass is ideal but who has the $ for that? 
Clear will āsolarizeāā¦temporarily greenhousing, then cookingā¦black plastic lasts longer & 2 weeks is the minimum time to kill stuff.

Iv read a bit on the subject thought Iād share my thoughts clear thick plastic I hear is what is needing soaking the area with water and sealing the edges tight to the ground basically steaming everything and killing it , if the sun strike on the plastic is good iv heard that you can get a kill on roots and weeds seed down to about 6ā deep!

Friendly reminder that you only have to get cover crop seeds once.
You can chop & drop half of it and let the other half go to seed.
