Really useful fertility aid or “living mulch” that make it an excellent companion crop for many species especially cereals.
Best to surface sow into a firm seed bed where the clover’s creeping stolons can infill gaps and the small leaved cultivars have the ability to maintain ground cover, offer weed suppression and aid growth by nitrogen fixation and release.
Note that sowing rates can be halved when used as a companion crop.
