Question 1

Why do recent reviewers here seem to be having trouble with this product?  Has something changed regarding the supplier?

Accepted Answer

The supplier is not Outside Pride but rather some group called Seedfans. My shipment came from Singapore with a false customs declaration stating it was jewelry apparently to avoid USDA import regulations. I have dealt with Outside Pride directly in the past and they are an American Company with fine products and good service. I contacted them when I could not get a response from Amazon other than their "boilerplate" response about returns and satisfaction but was instead referred to their legal department. Outside Pride says that this is an ongoing problem that Amazon refuses to address. Buy directly from Outside Pride.

Question 2

I need to sow 10 lbs of this White Dutch Clover seed over an acre, and I only have an old small Scotts spreader. How do I do this?

Accepted Answer

I suppose it would help to know your purpose.  Yes, the seed is mighty small and a Scotts spreader might not do the job uniformly.  I first considered that my investment in seed was only $35 and second, chose to see what the fertilized seed could do. After a rain, I sowed 10 # over .5 acre. I sowed by hand. In a week, the sprouts were coming up everywhere. I would say that every seed sprouted and as the months went by the sprouts are multiplying and spreading.  It took an hour or so. I could probably do this again next spring on another half-acre. My object was to overcome the Bermuda and reduce the effort or much of the need to mow grass.  I'm sure there may be a fancier way but I started with simple.

Question 3

Is the coating/innoculation  ok in a vegetable garden?  I want a clover temporary cover to plow under later. I grow mostly chemical free produce.

Accepted Answer

Dear LV.  I'm no clover expert but I bought inoculated seed (10#) which help the bacteria encourage growth and the coating of fertilizer jump-starts the seed growth without worrying about keeping the seeds wet. My goal was to replace grass that I mow with clover that doesn't need this care.  What clover I have needs no chemicals or fertilizers.  From that I would encourage clover for your garden.

Question 4

Will Dutch clover grow in sandy soil

Accepted Answer

I don't know but it is growing well here in difficult soil. Give it a try.
