How to use it
Red Clover can be used to improve soil health as it is a nitrogen-fixing plant, which means it helps enrich the soil by converting atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use. This makes it an excellent choice for crop rotation and companion planting, enhancing the growth of neighboring plants.
