[QUOTE="Roy14, post: 4150710, member: 41855"] Clover’s growth cycle is earlier than bermuda, which doesn’t get going until we see warmer weather. You can likely bale the clover off before the bermuda gets going, eliminating an issue of the clover choking out your bermuda. It also is a nitrogen fixer so it’s sort of like a free fertilizer for your place. If it ever do decide you need rid of it, spraying it will quickly kill it off, much quicker than spraying for your Johnson grass issue (but you’d be treating both, so it’s a simple answer). If you were not haying the field (or grazing, they accomplish the same goal here) then clover would not be a good choice because it does ball up and choke out grasses like bermuda over time. The key is harvesting it off before your bermuda comes on. [/QUOTE]
