Benefits of a Micro Clover Lawn:
- The inclusion of microclover in grass mixtures allows the soil to retain more moisture in the dry periods.
- Provides an organic source of nitrogen to support turfgrass growth with added disease and weed resistance.
Planting Tips
New Lawn:
Prepare the top 4 to 6 inches of your soil by tilling and adding compost (optional).
Microclover does best with a pH of 6 to 7.
Rake to ensure a fine, even surface, then seed using a seed spreader, reserving some seed to fill in any gaps that develop after germination. Water regularly to ensure your soil doesn’t dry out.
The suggested sowing rate for a new lawn is 1 to 2 pounds for 1,000 square feet.
Overseeding:
Mow close to the soil surface and aerate first. Seed with a thin coating of soil and sand to improve germination rates, rake lightly, and press.
The suggested sowing rate for an existing lawn is 1.5 pounds for 10,000 square feet.
