What’s with the clover in the garden?
We planted White Dutch clover for several reasons. It is a clover of shorter height that can hold up to tread of feet and wheels. When in bloom it provides great forage for the honey bees. Having the clover between garden beds suppresses weed growth. The clover once cut when it matures creates good mulch and green manure for the raised beds. The clover also fixates nitrogen in the soil. The clover between the raised beds also soaks up water from rains preventing soil erosion. The clover creates nice flooring for the barefooted farmer.
