Additional Information:
100% white clover is very useful as a long term Green Manure. The main benefits are a deep taproot which can help prevent compaction, increased soil fertility by way of nitrogen fixation  ( legume), dense foliage to smother weeds and a dense leaf structure which can withstand a fairly high level of foot traffic. White clover can therefore be utilised as temporary walkways  or be established between open canopy crops. Sow on to a fine, well prepared seedbed. Lightly rake over (whilst being very carful not to bury the seeds more than 5- 10mm) and firm the ground afterwards to insure good seed to soil contact. White clover may be regularly cut and mulched on the surface or cut and removed to a compost heap as very high nitrogen green leaf matter.
