    Are there reasons why this would be a non runner...

    just throwing clover seed in on top of manure filled spreader

    Young clover doesn't cope well with fertiliser, even slurry. It would also find it difficult to grow ontop of established ryegrass

    Best way to introduce clover is reseeding

    Anything to be said for stitching it in? Genuine question...


    Also, was kind of thinking of putting it out with a shot of 10:10:20 on a filed I had to spray post emergence where there isnt enough of it imo....waste of time?

    Stitching is the best way to put it in really. Putting it out with the fert spreader is very hit and miss

    By stitching, do you mean a seed drill?

    Would the dung spreader with manure be just as good as fertiliser spreader for clover (only reason is contractor does all my work)...

    Not really as how could you be accurate with the seed.

    You need a guttler system or tine harrow with air seeder
