I would like to plant some clover in my flower garden because I want to plant a vegetable garden next year, but I have some questions about it. 1.) When can I plant the clover? I'd like to till the soil and then plant the clover before winter starts.2.) What kind of clover should I plant?3.) And any other advice you could give me would be great :) This is my first vegetable garden all on my own.Thanks!
Clover are often used as cover crops between annual vegetable harvests or on the floor of orchards to help fix nitrogen and enrich the soil. In garden beds, till red clover under or add it to the compost pile before you plant annual vegetables or flowers. Use white clover in orchards, especially if you have low-grazing animals to fertilize the orchard, such as ducks, chickens, geese, rabbits or goats. Plant clover in the spring or early summer, when the ground has become soft and moist from the spring rains. You may also plant in September or early October in most locations. Clover seed is very small, so you may want to mix it with lime or fertilizer to give you more substance to work with. Do not use a strong fertilizer on clover, as it can burn the plant's thin roots.
