I am thinking of planting red clover in a new area where I want to set up next years garden.

At what temperature do you plant it? When do you cut it down - before or after flower? Do you plough it under or just cut it and let it sit there breaking down?

Thanks for the help.

IIRC, you just plough it under before it flowers and a few weeks before you intend to plant. No mention was made of the temperature, but in the booklet entitled: growing your own grains, it stated that you could intersperse the red clover seed with the winter wheat in February.

This was just my third summer for real gardening, so I am certainly no expert. I have done a lot of reading at various websites in addition to books.

The problem is my memory is not as good as it once was, so I have to keep re - reading everything!LOL.
