Got a lovely rc and festololium ley growing here but due to the dock burden it might have to go sadly

Not when they're thick enough to suppress both the grass and the clover.

Here’s a four and a six leafer for you though:

Balansa here is reaching the end of its life cycle. It flowers prolifically in our Spring as the days lengthen (I wont add and warm up as it has been a very cool spring to this point). Ours is of course sown in the Autumn. Stems are getting thick, tangly and hollow like they do. Hoping for a change in weather after this next major rain event coming Tuesday onwards...

When would be the latest time clover could be stitched into a silage sward? We have just sprayed silage land to kill docs and we are are waiting to get a 5th cut off it the next dry spell so would it be to late to go in after that and stitch in?
