Frost seeding white clover in northern Georgia is an effective method for improving pastures and enhancing forage quality. This technique involves broadcasting clover seeds over existing pastures in late winter, typically between January and early March, when the ground experiences regular freeze-thaw cycles. The natural expansion and contraction of the soil help incorporate the seeds improving germination without the need for tilling. White clover is particularly well-suited for frost seeding due to its small seed size and ability to establish in cool conditions. This method enhances nitrogen fixation, reduces weed competition, and provides high-quality forage for livestock. For best results,...
