I friend of mine recently lost her grandmother and has passed onto me half a bag of rabbit food and a box of red clover that she suggested I grew for the rabbits (as that is what it was sold for).
I googled for the English name (box is French - trefle violet) and I got loads of sites suggesting how to remove it ??? I know I cannot plant it in the rabbit's run as it would not stand a chance. Could I grow it in a container or is it likely to 'infect' my lawn when it seeds?
As much as I would like to use it there are enough 'unwanteds' in my garden without me adding more. Any advice would be appreciated.
red clover can also be used as a green manure just grow it and dig it in to help fertility
if you have a square metre or so spare, grow it as a bee attractant, and you can cut it twice per yr as a bunny food or compost activator. ;)
Red Clover is sold as a green manure. . Interesting that it is sold for rabbits. It is invasive?
Seems there is a difference between red clover which is pink and crimson clover. I think I have bought the wrong one. I have seen the crimson in fields round here and it is very attractive.
If your rabbit eats the growth, and you pick off the flowers, it wont make any seed.
