Does anyone throw clover on with fert? Thinking of stitching some into some silage land and wondered just about mixing it with fert then rolling it in?

Yes also have a seeder on the quad . If its in with the fertiliser don't drive to wide and cross spreading helps. Run over with a horrow and roll it well.
Frost seeding is very popular in the US . I was planning to try it but not got round to it

Yes, it works very successfully. Sow as soon as the grass comes off and be sure to roll well. The seed rate would be 2kgs/acre that approximately 2 million seeds per acre!
