Red Clover Green Manure Seeds |
|
This UK native variety ‘Essex Broad’, is a fast growing perennial green manure crop that is an excellent nitrogen fixer. It’s deep roots lift nitrogen from the subsoil and penetrate the soil which improves its structure.
It can be sown between April – August at a rate of 2-3g/sqm and can be left for 3-18 months. It is good at suppressing weeds as it grows bulk that smothers weeds but, to give it a good start clear the soil of all weeds.
Red Clover has medicinal properties that are used in the treatment of ‘hot flushes’ as it contains chemicals that mimic the female sex hormone – oestrogen. It also helps in the control of eczema and whooping cough. Do not try to make yourself – only buy proper propriety medicines.
