In the realm of sustainable landscaping, Micro Clover emerges as a champion. Native to Canadian zones up to Zone 3, this legume is more than just an attractive green cover.
Micro Clover is Mother Nature's own soil enhancer, drawing nitrogen from the air and enriching the ground beneath.
This naturally fertilized soil, in turn, nourishes the grasses, ensuring a verdant hue that lasts longer, even with less water.
The bonus?
You can bid goodbye to synthetic fertilizers.
Ideal for planting between the two-week window before your last frost date and four weeks prior to the first frost, Micro Clover doesn't demand much.
However, be wary of prolonged hot weather. Sprinkle around 500g for every 1,000 square feet. A gentle raking, ensuring the seeds are no deeper than 10mm, is all the tilling you need.
But remember, the secret lies in the watering, especially during its early days. A word to the wise over-over-seeding an existing lawn might prove futile. The seeds crave the touch of moist soil to germinate.
While envisioning a "Lawn Solution" may require patience spanning more than a season, the returns are worth the wait. The mowing regime for Micro Clover is more forgiving than that of other grasses.
In fact, each trim results in tinier, more abundant leaves with fewer flowers. And here’s a treat for families—this robust green carpet is ready for children's play and the pitter-patter of pet paws.
If pesky chafer beetles have been a bane, rejoice! Adult beetles disdain legumes, saving your lawn from potential invasions. In essence, Micro Clover offers not just beauty but also functionality, marking a new era in eco-friendly lawns.
