Oversowing Clover in Vegetable Beds to Benefit Soil

[@constancemiller3753]

Its snowing and dark here in Edmonton. So those long pans of sunny veggies and hunky gardener set to mellow music.....keeping me in clover.

I raised chickens between 8 and 18 years of age. When I "closed up shop" to go to college, I sold off al 56 chickens (Rhode Island reds and leghorns, one white rock Rooster and a few of hybrids from the rooster mix) one Tom Turkey and one Pekin Duck. Raising them gave me a lot of depth for my future life; I'm glad I stumbled on your Channel because I get a lot of nostalgia. BTW the White Rock wasn't a big crower but when he did it was thunderous.

Learning a lot.. Trying to implement your systems in Africa.

So incredibly useful! This is exactly what I was hoping to find, an actual farmer doing what I was thinking I’d do to my vegetable garden. Thank you for taking the time to make this!!!

[@Mary-had-a-lil-farm]

Fascinating! Thanks. I am researching now the benefits of planting clover so this video was perfect thank you. And my what a beautiful farm he has.

[@davidgerardgeraghty9890]

Simple and clever technique, thanks for sharing Josh. Keep up the great work

[@countdown.moments]

It is also a great way to deal with pathways not just main crop

[@richardschaffling9882]

I was wondering about just planting clover in the walkways to help the garden and so it’s not so muddy when working in the garden

[@michellecobb8403]

Same. I've been gathering seed heads from my clover (white) in the lawn every time I go to my garden and just drop them as I walk through. I figure if it's beneficial for my planting areas, it can't hurt to have it elsewhere. If nothing else, it will help keep the temperature down throughout the garden. ❤

So what happens in spring ? How is the clover handled; left to grow, terminated ? If so how; crimped, harrowed ? Thanks

[@genericwannabe]

I haven’t done this yet but my springtime plan is to till some of it into the soil and use it as mulch for the new crop. I’d just do it in the rows where I want to plant and leave the rest to continue providing nitrogen to the soil.

[@russsherwood5978]

intresting ai was jist talkin wit a friend bout re-doin my yard an gardens wit a shallow till the replant wit the white clover mix wit sweet [ white,yellow ], red an a blue/purple clover ta help whatever bees an ta jist plant threw the clover instead of tillin every year... 10 thumbs-up,, thank you fer the video

[@marvinrobinson8519]

How far apart are your drip lines? I'm wanting to use drip lines in my garden and am also interested in underseeding clover in certain areas. Thank you for the great information!

[@GoMidwestFishing]

Great info

[@jeannewhitaker1950]

I use Austrian peas in my home garden because the shoots are delicious!

[@ericsadlon7332]

For nitrogen fixation you will need to buy inoculated seed from a reputable company. Check the nodules on the roots. White means no nitrogen fixation. Pink/red means fixing lots of nitrogen.

[@debiulrey-crosby4520]

what kind of clover? red or white? is it an annual or perennial clover?

[@davidplants]

35 seconds Where did you get this greenhouse?

[@Jenoveryonder]

I’m curious what happened at the end of season. Where can I find those results?

[@eliseamiot5412]

Is it perennial clover? How does it not become a weed and compete next season?

[@shinysparkles92]

Probably would need to start your seedlings in a greenhouse to give enough of a head start to beat the clover off the ground.

[@movingnaturefilms]

Check out Seed to Fork. They do clover right.

[@killowatraibikio2855]

Cloud you do this on a larger scale like for Peppers 5000m2 half a Hector?

[@SunilSunil-uh9hd]

good former

[@1982MCI]

I don’t believe from my experience that the clover will not be there near long enough to provide any benefits other than acting as green compost when tilled in to flip beds but it can act as an erosion control which his brassicas are really already fulfilling. Just my thoughts but I hope he sees some benefits from it and I would love to follow him closer to see if he sees any benefits, especially since we are all in the same areas

[@foggypatchfarm6048]

Yes, I heard that too on other videos, that legumes don't share much of their nitrogen. Maybe just 5%. I have to go watch the vids at One Yard Revolution again. Still, tilling it in lightly in the spring into the surface would make some nitrogen available. I've let some summer kill in the heat in central Texas, but I'm not sure if the nitrogen was released into the soil.

[@floatinglotusfarmstead]

I always thought it was called under sowing

[@foggypatchfarm6048]

Me too. I've heard it as under sowing.

[@seangillespie4601]

leafy greens farmer doesn't understand photosynthesis, kinda silly lol

[@LaHortetadeBussy]

Thanks men 👍
