... plant(ed) 2 acres of crimson clover last fall.. But turns brown after bloom... I planted more this fall... White clover has always grown spotty for me as it doesnt out grow the grass like crimson...
When the bloom turns brown, it's going to seed. You shouldn't have to replant any crimson clover for several years as I understand it. If you cut the crimson about a week after it starts blooming, it will bloom again. The white clover you are talking about is Dutch clover, I think. Try planting what's called ball clover. It is a white clover like Dutch, but will grow in height like the grass around it. Cattle growers here in Alabama mix it in with the grass they sow in their pastures. With bees pollinating it, it should come back for several succeeding years as well. Good luck with you bee pasture.
