    I believe that you are correct. It can be very difficult to get rid of the clover, as it is a legume, and will spread underground. This makes it hard to eradicate. It may come down to reseeding every spring, to make sure the clover has too much competition, and that it cannot survive.

    Clover is a standard cover crop. It won't feed nearby plants if it is still alive so mowing is out for clover since it will come back. You are left with using herbicides to kill the cover crop or digging/tilling it in.

    Microclover leaves tend to die back during the winter months, appearing as if the plants have died. However, the roots, crowns, and stolons are alive, and new leaves emerge as the weather begins to warm in late winter and early spring.

    Not necessarily. While some weeds can indicate general soil deficiencies, the only way to know for sure what mineral deficiencies exist in your soil and how much of what is needed to correct it, is with soil testing and recommendations for amendments.

    We do not sell seeds or plants; we are an information source for gardeners.
    Do a search for sellers or even try EBay or Etsy.

    Do a Google search for Clover Seed in larger quantities. Also check Ebay and Etsy; they are often good sources for seeds.

    Do a Google search for bulk seed. Also try Ebay and Etsy; they are good sources for seed.
    Mix your chosen clover seed with fine sand, sawdust, or soil, and broadcast over desired area. If you are seeding a large expanse, you may want to use a broadcast spreader on the smallest setting.
    Rake the planted area to lightly cover the seeds. They won’t sprout if buried too deeply. Compress with a roller or by walking over the area. Water regularly until established.
