Corn and Clover?

Has anyone been successful growing clover as a living mulch in an intensive corn bed? Any help will help.

I had a problem getting rid of the clover at the end of the season. It's perennial and seemed to pop back up soon after tilling. Otherwise it was wonderful as you were getting a nitrogen-fixing mulch and green manure. I won't do it again.

Thanks a bunch! I will try it and give a heavy mulch a shot at the end of the season instead of tilling. I'm really just playing a bit, I'll let ya know how things turn out! Thanks again
