Best lawn we’ve ever had

We sowed our microclover at this time last year. It was ready for our daughters wedding reception in July. We have loads of bunnies here by the Point Roberts Marina and the sandy soil demands a drought tolerant lawn. The lawn was bright green all winter long. We’ve hand pulled weeds (just one kind blows in from surrounding fields) to this point (super easy) and have just reseeded the few areas that didn’t take. And no moles!!! Our grandchildren and resident wild bunnies are happy!

Product Details

Trifolium repens var. Pipolina.

Please note: This pelleting is not COR-compliant for certified organic growers. the raw seed is available here. Home owners are seeing the advantages of supplementing grass lawns with Micro Clover or seeding Micro Clover in damaged patches of their lawns where soil is exposed.

As a legume, Micro Clover fixes atmospheric nitrogen in nodes along its roots. This directly benefits grasses by fertilizing the soil naturally. Healthier grasses maintain a richer colour for longer in the season and require less water and fertilizer. Clover grows densely so it crowds out weeds and prevents weed seeds from becoming established. It is also a good option for homeowners whose lawns have been infested by European chafer beetles. Adult chafer beetles are not attracted to legumes and will go elsewhere to lay their eggs.

Contrary to what its name implies, Micro Clover is not simply a tiny version of standard clover. When Micro Clover is mowed, its leaves grow smaller and more numerous, with fewer flowers than conventional clovers. It becomes established more quickly and can be mowed shorter than typical lawn grasses. It will also stand up to foot (and pet) traffic. Once established, Micro Clover is more drought tolerant than grasses and require less frequent watering.

If starting a lawn from scratch, use 5% Micro Clover of the total weight of the grass seed being sown.

All About Micro Clover Seed Pelleted

Season & Zone

Season & Zone

  • Exposure: Full sun to partial shade
  • Zone: Hardy to Zone 3

Timing

Timing

Pelleted Micro Clover seeds should be sown from two weeks before your last expected frost date to four weeks before your first average frost date. It's best to avoid planting during extended periods of hot weather.

Starting

Starting

For optimal results, sow approximately 125g for 250sqft, 250g for 500 sqft, and 500g for 1000sqft. Spread the seeds densely, then gently rake them into the soil to a depth of 5-10mm (1/8-1/4"). To ensure even coverage, consider seeding at a higher rate and keep back 15-20% of the seeds to fill in any bald spots later. Regularly water the newly seeded areas until the seedlings take root. Keep in mind that over-seeding an existing lawn may not be effective since the seeds need to be in direct contact with moist soil to germinate.

Growing

Growing

Establishing a "Lawn Solution" lawn with pelleted Micro Clover seeds may take more than one season. Regular mowing and watering will help maintain a healthy lawn. Micro Clover goes dormant in winter and re-grows in spring. When mowed, the leaves of Micro Clover become smaller and more numerous, producing fewer flowers than traditional clovers. It can be mowed shorter than typical lawn grasses and is durable enough to withstand children's play and pets. Additionally, Micro Clover establishes more quickly than grass seeds. Adult chafer beetles are not attracted to legumes, so they'll seek other places to lay their eggs.

How to Grow Micro Clover Pelleted

Step 1

Timing

Sow micro clover seeds between the period two weeks prior to your last frost date, and four weeks prior to your first average frost date. Try to avoid planting during prolonged hot weather.

Step 2

Starting

Sow rate for Micro Clover Pelleted seed is approximately:

  • 125g for 250 square feet
  • 250g for 500 square feet
  • 500g for 1000 square feet

Scatter seeds densely and gently rake them into soil at a depth of no more than 5-10mm (1/8-1/4”). Seed at a higher rate to ensure fuller coverage. Withhold 15-20% of seeds for filling in any bald areas later. Water newly seeded areas regularly until the seedlings take root.

To replace a lawn, seed bare soil, with no turf present. To incorporate on top of an existing lawn, cut grass short to expose as much soil as possible. Spread a thin layer of compost, seed densely into the compost and rake in or use roller to press seeds in to ensure contact with soil. For best results, remove thatch before sowing.

Step 3

Growing

Establishing a “Lawn Solution” lawn may take more than one season. Mow and water as required. Clover goes dormant over winter and re-grows in spring.
