Microclover in Georgia Lawns: Experimental, High Maintenance

Q: Microclover alone or with fescue for sunny, sloped, low-traffic yard where bermuda/fescue failed.

A: No experience. Microclover (small white clover) is short-lived in hot, dry summers. Irrigation helps. Hard to balance grass/clover—over-fertilize kills clover, under-fertilize makes patchy lawn. Bleeding-edge experiment; report results!
