    Unfortunately, there are many illnesses that can plague clover. Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. I am unable to see the damage.

    There are a few that do prefer the heat and rainy season. I suspect Anthracnose, but cannot confirm.

    When you say "watered regularly," does that mean every couple of days to keep the ground moist, which is what the seedlings need.
    Birds may have gotten the seed if it wasn't raked in or covered lightly.
    I suggest calling the company and letting them know your experience. They will likely make some concessions.

    Microclover doesn't tend to like extended periods of heat and high humidity. It may be a little too much for the plant in your area, unfortunately.

    If you choose to reseed, continuously, then you will want to use about 2 lbs per 1000 square feet of yard.

    Adding coco coir and worm casting to these bare spots and reseeding will, likely, solve the issue. This will help these areas to maintain a, more constant, supply of moisture while the clover establishes.

    I think that this could be feasible. It would be better to start from plugs, but direct seeding may work in this case.

    So starts, but not direct seeding? correct?
