Don't know if you've solved this or not.. am wondering if pallets would help? I've been thinking about experimenting with them to create movable raised beds. There is a business near my work that discards theirs, puts them out by their dumpster unti…

Heather Welch said… - Hi Marcia,
I have not been able to find red clover seeds locally. I have seen Baker Nursery carry flats of plants but that is an expensive way to cover crop a yard. My recommendation is to go to Seeds of Change (I think it is a .com) and have them ship you some. I usually purchase a bulk order and that has covered a front or back lawn for me. If you call the number on their website, they can give some idea of the dimensions but if you are working with an area that is bigger than standard central phx front lawn size, I would opt for a larger bulk order. If you have extra, you can always take them to a seed exchange and trade for something that you don't already have! Good luck and let me know if you have any troubles. Thanks, Heather
