Default Should I grow clover with potted plants?

"Peter Jason" wrote in message ...
I hear that clover replenishes the soil with nitrogen, and so perhaps if I
use it as a "living mulch" in my potplants it will enhance the growth of the
other plant.

Does anyone know if this is a good idea?


The problem with clover and other cover crops in containers is
providing a hiding place and alternate food supply for insect pests.
Outdoors in the ground I would not be without it as it's benefits far
outweigh any problems.
