But as with most clovers it really wants two things: Soil pH that isn't too acid and steady, regular moisture. My soil tends to the acid and is deep, droughty sand so clover is not suited. Yours appears to be more loamy with significant clay so retaining soil moisture wouldn't be too much of a problem. <br/><br/>.....Alan.
