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.
