In several of the past discussions and observations clover does help BT during the spring when fawns and antler growth make food important. It does not appear to help much in whacking mature bucks. It does help the herd but doesnt make them that much easier to hunt 2c

If you want a cheap/easy method for fruit trees, you can use cuttings.  I got a bunch of branches from a neighbor when he pruned trees over the winter.  Just stuck a bunch in a pot with dirt/peat moss and water often.  They've been growing roots and the buds grew to leaves.  I figure to just plant a lot more than I need so hopefully the deer/elk/bear/mountain beavers miss a few and they'll grow enough to set fruit.

I tried and failed at a food plot last year:

I think you were too late last year, clover needs to be planted early if you are relying on natural moisture. There's a chance some of your seed from last year sprouted this spring, have you checked? You need to get your soil checked if you haven't, like others mentioned, that could also be the problem. This spring came early, I planted weeks ago and everything is already growing good. Good luck.

I haven't been there in a couple weeks and it was still covered in snow then.  I'll be checking on it this weekend.
