    If I could pick your brain for a minute. What kind of clover would you use for the Midwest US and what season is the most optimal to spread them?

      Dutch, red clover are both good options. Dutch will only grow a 6-8" tall. Red clover can get up to 18". The micro clover pipolina is one that I personally like and only gets 2-3" tall…

      In difficult spots subterranean clover can survive. It’s an interesting species as it’s seeds are formed underground like a peanut.

          It’s been my career for over 3 decades now. I have traveled the globe as an expert on the subject until the constant travel messed up my health. Been to every continent but Antartica. Currently I am running my own business selling seeds farmers/others as the most overqualified salesman around.
