White Clover
REINTRODUCING CLOVER INTO A GRASS SWARD
Soil pH is key. The sweet point is probably between 6.2 and 6.5. The traditional recommended grassland pH of 6.0 will not drive your potential N fixation. The small seed has low endosperm reserve so good seed to soil contact is essential, alongside moisture to promote germination. It should be sown no deeper than 10mm into a firm, well consolidated seed bed.
