Reseeding with clover - the learning process never ends, says Ken

This spring, Ken has decided to double the proportion of his seed mix made up of clover - but he's still learning, he says.

I think reseeding and clover incorporation is an area where the learning process never ends.

In the past, we would have selected our grass seed mix with a kilo of clover in it and honestly, there was little thought given to the clover after that - even though we were well aware of how clover fixes nitrogen.
