for a living mulch and sort of took a shine to clover.  As I recall Ed Fackler

relative low height discouraged the presence of beneficials.  As a result
stink bugs and others got way out of hand.  As a result I never planted
the clover and have been mulching away with composted materials. <snip>


Hi,

If there are particular varieties of clover that were tested I would like
to know.  Red clover and white clover are very different.

Thanks, Tom
