Green Manure White Clover

Description

Green Manure White Clover

Green Manure White Clover makes an excellent long term green manure, best suited for sowing between long standing crops such as Soft fruit. A blend of short and tall varieties which can be cut back and spreads by a network of creeping stems close to the surface which fix the beneficial nitrogen. Will last between 2-5 years if required but does not thrive in extremely dry areas or periods. Frost tolerant, it also makes an excellent weed suppressant. Best sown Mar – Aug @ 1-2 gm per Sq. M. A favourite for tortoises.

Cultivation Advice 

• Sow from Mar through to end of Aug. Scatter thinly and lightly rake in to prepared area.
• Can be trimmed down if required / does not appreciate heavy strimming.
• Best suited to medium to moist soil locations / avoid dry conditions.
