On the second application of pellets already.

Which do folks think best regards Num 3 …. Drilling or broadcasting
If broadcasting what width ? 8 , 10 meters?
It must be over 30 years since I spread small seeds ….. just trying to jog a few brain cells

Broadcast.

Or you won't see any clover.
I know this from experience. Even shallow drilling is too deep for it

Tbh honest id probably still use the drill, but pretty much off the ground.

Roll it first

 

[Gormers]

Roll it first

Hopefully packer roller on PH will be fine & then roll afterwards
What’s the furthest clover can be spread with a twin disc @Derrick Hughes ?
Last time I did some it was with a wagtail & hopper @ braces

Red clover will go furher than white and Chrimson further still
