If seeding birdsfoot trefoil with grass, use a non-aggressive grass or you can also seed it alone and allow Kentucky bluegrass to invade. Birdsfoot trefoil is suited to sites ranging from droughty to poorly drained, and it can be seeded over a wider range of soil pH than alfalfa. Common white clover is seldom seeded in Michigan because it volunteers easily. Rather than seeding white clover use controlled grazing and timely phosphorus applications to encourage the clover. Bloat is a hazard whenever this clover makes up more than 50 per cent of the sward.
White clover grows well on sites that are too wet for either red clover or alfalfa.
It is short lived but reseeds itself under controlled grazing. Alsike will tolerate soils with a pH too low for red clover or alfalfa. Bloat is a hazard. Mix with the grasses of your choice. This grass is palatable over much of the grazing season.
