Poor man way to plant clover... to help

[@johndour5207]

Ummm....... Those are flowers that haven't set seed yet. Genius

[@savyoyster2829]

at tractor supply you can get a 5 pound bag of red and white clover seeds for 20 dollars. not to bad of a price.

[@dogsareawesome9197]

As a 4 leaf clover collector, since ive learned that the higher concentration of flowers in a patch means a more likely chance of 4 leaf clover, id be addicted in that field

[@robertlane9073]

The material you collected has no viable seed in it. It was all flowers. If you wish to do this, wait until the seedheads have been brown (dead looking) for at least a couple of weeks. Scout the fields out ahead of time, so you know where to go collect. Better yet, go to your local feed/seed store and purchase clover seed of adapted species and cultivars for your area. For some you can purchase just a pound or two. Make sure it has been preinoculated with proper rhizobial bacteria so that you get proper nitrogen fixation. And take soil tests to see if any nutrients are in short supply and if your pH needs adjusting. You can't get established just by collecting clover flowers.

[@UnDaoDu]

+Robert Lane well where there was none it grew. Seed will continue to ripen within the seed pods even if collected early. I was collecting the wilted flowers but with them the young ones and that is what you are seeing. TThere was plenty of seed and it did work.

[@christeee85]

Burrrrrrned

[@bigweb0311]

Ya I was gonna say he’s a bit early on collecting!! And if some grew. We seen the before video of the area you intended to plant. Well how about the after video?🤔

[@Mrvanna-fo8hc]

Beautiful. I'm really excited❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@shanleyshoupe7873]

so lemme get this straight... you dug up (stole?) a bunch of flowering clover (that probably doesnt have seeds, only nectar and pollen), literally just threw them into your yard, and expect them to not only survive but reproduce? sorry for the tone, theres just a few things happenning here. generally, if you dig up a plant that is close to flowering/is flowering then it will die because of the amount of energy that takes. plants also dont tend to do well if you dont give them enough dirt to keep their roots cool, wet, and dark, especially if you toss them right out in the open with no shade. plants only make seeds after the flowers die away, and the only other way to get these to spread would be to have enough of the root in the ground and for it to be healthy enough to grow. pollinators will not like these once theyre cut, especially because theyre on the soggy soil where plant material goes specifically in order to rot. im sorry, but you fucked up in like, every way dude. buy a pound of seeds for $8, spread them the week before halloween, and youll actually get a better bang for your buck the following spring when you factor in that for $8 you have (substantially) more clover, spent less time digging (your time is at least worth minimum wage, dont you think?) and maybe less gas, but idk ur life. I wish you better luck in the future, may you not make the same mistake more than once

[@hmfoden]

Yeeeeaaaah… I hate being “ that person” but it turns out it’s much better to either A) harvest live plants and transplant them into nice soil while they are just starting to come up from the ground or B), harvest the flowers once they have dried out and turned into seed heads ( locally for my region this is usually mid to late august, but every region will differ depending on climate). Sow in early early spring or in the fall ( just before halloween as the OG poster mentioned is probably gonna be your best bet). If you live somewhere with cold deep winters cover seeds after planting with some burlap and come spring you will have an abundant seeding of clover , and if you top up your lawn in early spring with more seed you will have a lush thick amazing clover lawn that will do wonders for your garden & the environment….. but on a positive note at least this gentleman is trying and THAT is what really matters Also… clover seed is cheap on Etsy, or you can harvest locally in the right season…

[@BEasay]

💯

[@rakeanomander1]

Dollars to donuts the dude comes back next year and he will discover he has grown diddly. He needed to spread seed not just toss out the flowering tops.

[@shanleyshoupe7873]

it would be so funny if i didnt feel bad cause his hearts in the right place lol

[@K.T-]

But do you have another video showing how you planted it? Did you plan it roots and all? Or from the tips of the flowers the seeds?

[@HaysiKing]

that's not crimson clover it's red clover (should be pink clover imo). crimson is Italian clover it's dark red and it's in America but they are commonly mistaken both ways.

[@larryoloai]

Well did it work? The suspense is killing me

[@thordemann1]

My guess is that those haven't gone to seeds yet... you have to wait for them to stop blooming..

[@mozdieloz3826]

I agree with you they were not seeded yet.

[@trenapatzer3631]

I can smell it. Lovely 😊

[@UnDaoDu]

Wonderful!

[@GrowingLittleCountryhomestead]

I think you would have been better of taking a clump of clovers with roots and all and planted in your field. That’s how I got purple clovers in my field (not crimson). Do you have a fallow up video.

[@tappakeggaday1]

I guess I have to ask but did this work out for you and did the clover grow for you?

[@UnDaoDu]

Yep... I have clover on my farm. Check out this talk of mine FOUNDUPS®COM: "Saving the planet...together" My Story

[@KishorTwist]

I too just discovered that white clover is a local native plant. I hope to optimize my backyard so that it's swarming with bees, pollinating insects and other wildlife.

[@charlesgill8822]

Plant seeds man if u want it to grow

[@Jeniferrnichols]

My feed store sells it for $3 a pound. A little goes a long way!

[@UnDaoDu]

In japan its a lot more expensive FOUNDUPS®COM: "Saving the planet...together" My Story

[@Buzzbox3rd]

I doubt the seed would develop it enough to germinate, you can do it like this but the seed has to be at least hard

[@UnDaoDu]

I got it to work ,,, now onto this FOUNDUPS®COM: "Saving the planet...together" My Story

[@NCYouthOutdoors]

Ok cool thanks it would be really cool if u made a video of the results

[@lucycats6282]

Poor mans way....steal someone elses clover

[@davegaetano7171]

Bees can't get nectar from red clover-- their tongues are too short.

[@TheUntypicals]

Honeybees have short tongues, bumblebees bees will be fine

[@shanleyshoupe7873]

@@TheUntypicals and bumblebees pollinate approx 20 times what honeybees do!

[@piaspermacultureedu9460]

Better to transplant the young plants early season, than to collect seed before maturation.

[@johndour5207]

no pics , didn't happen

[@jayanthpatki7845]

Does is spread ?

[@davidreeder328]

Just buy some clover seed

[@GetRhythm2011]

Yeah! YaY for bees! Thank You all for your efforts! :D

Did it work?

[@99thmonkeyresonance66]

Thank YOOOOU, human- for doing ALLLL of THIS, "FOR the bees"! I've been doing the same, "FOR the bees", work- (quietly, low-key & NOT "sharing, sharing & sharing" with the "net"/"social media".. as I would SURELY, have those dingbats at the "USDA Office", over my shoulder- tellin' ME, what I "CAN"/"CANT DO"- with MY lawn! Silly, silly "Humans"... YOU, CANT just "control" what goes where... "they" most def can "TRY to" "control", what goes where... ..but- GAIA, WILL make damn sure, that "THINGS", STAY "balanced"- Whether the SO-CALLED "Humans", "like" IT- or NOT! ("Opinions" & what "one" DOES/DOESN'T "like"- on THIS "matter"- unfortunately, ARE 510% IRRELEVANT! #EndOfStory!) GAIA, IS the "Boss"! NOT silly, ignorant & greedy, lil SO-CALLED "humans"! "THEY", (the SO-CALLED "humans") WILL, have to "learn"/"figure it out"- THE. "HARD. WAY." quite frankly!

[@UnDaoDu]

yea but now as well as I wanted it too.

[@shanleyshoupe7873]

weird, maybe there was a cheaper and easier method that could've included supporting local businesses...

[@tomahawkmissile241]

there is no seed it is in flower lol

[@UnDaoDu]

It’s magical. The seeds ripen in the flower after they are visited by pollinator. U are just seeing the newest flowers not the old brown ones

[@tomahawkmissile241]

exactly they harvest sunflowers when they are .... Wish you luck on those flowers and once you get hands on the seeds it will no longer be magical.

[@lucienmacrose8567]

I wonder if this would work better if you waited for the blooms to turn brown? Later

[@Foundups]

Lucien Macrose seeds will continue to mature on the stem. but yes the older the better

[@lucienmacrose8567]

FOUNDUPS Michael Trout thanks!

[@LaurelHill2024]

man thats a waste of time. those are flower heads not seed.

[@UnDaoDu]

ill find out this spring

[@ZachSwena]

You need to wait for the seeds to develop, which happens once the flowers have turned brown. It is possible that you left enough stem on them that they can finish developing, but I doubt it...

[@hamidahlouch7727]

You are spreading grass only no seeds yet !!!!

[@pearlpurlperrell]

It will work. It worked for me. Ill send you pics. It spread everywhere
