Or alternatively, save your money and enjoy the clover. Clover fixes
nitrogen and in an organic lawn is a good companion for grass. I'm actively encouraging clover to spread and my daughters (and the local birdlife) like the little white flowers (OK, so I don't mow that often either ;-) ). I never have managed to get any red clover to establish though. If anyone has any tips, drop me a line. Paul DS. |

I'm actively encouraging clover to spread and my daughters (and the local birdlife) like the little white flowers (OK, so I don't mow that often either ;-) ). Isn't clover brilliant! I have a whopping great circular patch of it in my 'lawn', and I find I tend to 'manage' this patch like a miniature crop - letting it flower then cutting it back to allow it to come up again. On a sunny day the clover patch is brimming with bees and other insects, and the lush, moist green leaves set the dry white flowers off to perfection. I never have managed to get any red clover to establish though. If anyone has any tips, drop me a line. I've only ever had the white variety - but just a few weeks back I noticed an unusually large red clover-like flower in one of the beds. The blooms are at least three times the size of a standard clover, and I have no idea how it got there ( packet of mixed annuals from last year perchance? ). I'm not inclined to remove it either, the clover bloom is a truly fascinating flower up close.
