It is known as a hardy plant that enriches the fertility of the soil its planted in. Natural wisdom has proven that it gives a tonic and enhancing effect to human fertility as well.

Common in fields and along roadsides, it has bright pink blossoms from mid-summer into the chilly days of fall. What can red clover tell about your landscape?

The reason for its presence is not to annoy or even mock you. Instead, it is merely assessing the quality of your garden soil. Typically, the presence of clover in your lawn indicates a low level of nitrogen in the soil.

Nitrogen in your soil will affect the part of the plant that is above ground, especially the green, leafy sections. Correct levels of Nitrogen will promote healthy green foliage.

Therefore, you will find that vegetables such as lettuce and spinach, as well as lawns, have high Nitrogen requirements.

Nitrogen is one of the most difficult nutrients to maintain in your garden as it is easily washed away by rain water. The Nitrogen level in your soil can, therefore, deplete quickly. And,

So, to add nitrogen boost to your garden soil use clover as a cover crop. Red clover is pretty to look at and healthy for your garden.

A favorite flower of the honeybees, the tops (blossoms and appending leaves) are harvested on bright sunny days and eaten as is, or dried for medicinal use. The raw blossoms are delicious in salads and nutritious when cooked with grains such as rice or millet.
