Characteristics

Microclover™ provides all the same advantages of regular clover but has a much smaller leaf size. It features excellent nitrogen-fixing abilities without the use of extensive fertilization, fungicides, pesticides, or mowing. And, of course, it makes for a soft and beautiful turf suitable for high traffic. Microclover™ can be planted as a standalone lawn, or overseeded into existing lawn grasses.

Microclover™ benefits your existing lawn grasses by providing natural nutrients...truly it's own organic fertilizer!  Microclover™ has excellent cold, drought and traffic tolerance. The turf is very dense, very lush, and very beautiful. It can tolerate wet (not to be flooded for long periods of time) and shade conditions, as well as drought. 

Many customers enjoy Hancock's Micro Clover as an option for alternative lawns because it has a dark shade of green that is comparable to those found in more traditional lawns. Microclover™ is a variant/selection of common White Clover that has been cultivated to supply a less problematic partnership with traditional lawn grasses. Common White Clover was once a more popular lawn option, however it frequently formed clumps and in turn created troubles for those emphasizing lawn grasses. This, and the advancement of herbicides that would kill off standard White Clover, led to the development of Microclover™, which grows lower and mixes better with lawn grass accordingly. Although it does flower, Hancock's Micro Clover does not create nearly as many blooms as traditional White Clover.  

Microclover™ is extremely cold tolerant. It will go dormant slightly in the winter months, depending on location but is very aggressive and will most likely come back under harsh winter conditions. Killing frost or ice may be the exception. Microclover™, in light dormancy, will slow down and lose some vigor causing the color to dull but not completely go away.

Mowing Regimens & Guide

If Microclover™ is not cut, then the leaf size increases, the more it is cut then the smaller the leaf size. When Microclover™ is not mowed at all, the leaf size will be about 1/2 the size of White Dutch Clover. When it is mowed, new leaf heads form within a few days so it continually looks thick and lush. If it isn't mowed, it will get approximately 6 inches tall. If you mow it, it will want to quit growing just slightly taller than the height it was mowed at. For example, if you mow it at a height of 3 inches, it will head back out and quit growing at a height of approximately 4 inches. In other words, you can almost "train" its growing height with infrequent mowings. Microclover™ could present with larger leaves due to lack of density. In the springtime, especially in the first year, the clover can present with larger leaves as it attempts to reproduce as well. If you have areas with larger leaves, we recommend adding more seed to the thin areas to increase the density, then try to keep it between 1 and 4 inches in height. This should greatly improve the size of the leaves by not only adding more plants, but continuing to mow it low to encourage it to spread out which will also boost density. By doing this, the leaves should be smaller as they expect it look. 

This seed is surrounded in a clay based coating with inoculant, which aids in moisture retention for germination, birds tend not to eat the coated seed, and it is easier to see where it has been spread. In addition, pre-inoculated seed aids in germination and better, overall success. The coating takes up a portion of the bag, which means less seed per pound but you are getting the added benefit of the coating and inoculant. The raw seed is just how it sounds, seed in the purest form - not coated or mixed with anything.

Soil Prep

  • When choosing to start a new lawn, remove old vegetation by using a de-thatcher, power rake or tiller to kill the existing vegetation. Rake or drag the area to remove debris and dead grass for a clean area. Ensure the soil is leveled and loosened to allow the seed to have good soil contact once spread on a clean seed bed.
    • If you have an area with heavy weed coverage, we recommend starting fresh by killing and removing the existing vegetation. If you choose to use chemicals, herbicides or fertilizers, you must check with the product’s manufacturer prior to planting new seed to ensure the proper waiting period. 
  • When overseeding an existing area, mow your lawn at the lowest setting and bag the clippings. Rake or drag any areas that have dead thatch or debris.

 

Seeding

  • Seeding Rate: 2 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. or 100 lbs. per acre
  • Overseeding Rate: 1 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. or 50 lbs. per acre
  • Recommended planting time in spring is after the last chance of frost when night time temperatures are consistently 40+ degrees. Recommended planting time in late summer / early fall is at least 8 weeks prior to first frost. In the south where snow and freezing temperatures are rare, you may plant all through the winter.
  • Spread at the recommended rate based on total area and whether it is bare ground or pre-existing vegetation.
  • Spreader Settings: There is not any one setting that applies for all brands of spreaders. We recommend reviewing the seed settings chart that came with your spreader or contact the manufacturer directly. Ensure you are choosing a seed on the list by the manufacturer that closely resembles the seed you are choosing to plant.
    • If you have any concerns on what setting you should use, we recommend always starting with the smallest option then adjusting it to match the recommended seeding rate.

 

Fertilizer

  • Grass like all living things need food to survive. Food for grasses is fertilizer. We recommend fertilizing every 3 - 4 months with Hancock's 16-04-08 Lawn & Pasture Fertilizer. Our 16-04-08 Lawn and Pasture Fertilizer is custom blended to provide a slow-releasing, water-activated economical fertilizer. Hancock's 16-04-08 Lawn & Pasture Fertilizer can be applied at a rate of 5 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. or 250 lbs. per acre. The most probable cause of a declining lawn or pasture is poor nutrition. If you have any concerns about your soil, we recommend getting your soil tested to determine what nutrients you are low in as well as your pH. The results of the soil testing will give you the best information to amend your soil for the best grass growth.

 

Watering Schedule

  • For best results, water your lawn each morning and evening for 30 minutes based on weather conditions, until the new seedlings have reached the height of 3 - 5 inches for lawns or 8 - 20 inches for pasture.
  • Once they have reached that height, water 3 times per week as needed.
  • For best results, keep the soil moist while not over-watering the area or creating puddles.

 

Germination Time

  • 7 - 14 days, under optimal conditions

 

Mowing Requirements

  • 1 - 5 inches; depending on mowing regimens

The best hand frother
Color: Pure White, Color: Pure White
UPDATE: I bought this hand mixer in July 2025 and used it almost every day. It’s an incredibly good product, durable, reliable, and very easy to use. It comes with a charger, and the battery lasts a long time also it included a metal stand to hold it. Sadly it stopped working about a week ago (April 2026), but the best part is that it comes with a two-year warranty. It was very easy to contact customer support via email, they responded the same day, and I received a free replacement just a few days later. The new unit is the same product with the same accessories, but instead of just a stand, it now comes with a charging base, which is a fantastic and very practical upgrade. This is the best hand frother I’ve ever purchased. Even after almost a year of use, the accessories are still in perfect condition, and the customer service was excellent. I 100% recommend it.

Highly Recommend!
Color: Pure White
Between the product and the customer service I've received I feel compelled to write this positive review. First this forther that I randomly purchased due to the multiple whisk options is the most powerful rechargeable forther I found to date. I've purchased many in the past but this by far works the best. Detachable whisks are optimal for mixing options and easy cleaning. But the real star was the customer service I received when I had a slight issue. FoodVille could not have been more helpful or accommodating. I cannot recommend this product enough and the outstanding customer service I received from FoodVille was an unexpected and pleasant surprise, especially in this day and age. Do yourself a favor if you're in the market and purchase this forther you will not be disappointed.

Foodville is excellent
Color: Turquoise Green
The Foodville frother is quiet, stylish, comfortable to hold, easy to clean and keeps a charge a long time. It has 3 speeds but is powerful even at low speed. I have it in turquoise and use it everyday to make oatmilk lattes. The battery failed after a couple months but when I reached out to Foodville, they shipped a replacement immediately and followed up to make sure I received it. I was so surprised with the excellent customer service that it was nearly disorienting - nothing at all like a maddening no-exit loop with a chatbot!!! I highly recommend this frother and the company behind it.

It’s possessed
Color: Coral Pink
My kitchen theme is pink and this was a perfect addition! Until it wasn’t! Fully charged it, and placed it in its holder ready for use the next morning. From my living room I heard a noise but of course blamed it on Rita (my cat). The next morning I go to make my coffee and the device is knocked over on the counter and of course.. poor Rita! The device worked fine, didn’t send my coffee into a tornado like some do, rinsed and placed in holder. Relaxing and enjoying my morning coffee and all of a sudden this noise happens again and I see the device is on and actively spinning in the holder!!! What the energy? I run to turn it off but it stopped before I can get there. Ok, let’s not panic. Next morning? Device is dead. So I recharge, and lay it on the counter buttons up. Later that night minding my own business, the device is now rattling across the counter!!! Ran over to it, pushed the buttons and it won’t stop! After about 45 seconds it stopped. I recharge again because it died, and the sad thing is still asystolic.. (no pulse), dead, gone. What the??? So I don’t know what to tell you! It looks pretty! Updated: The company reached out to me and I received a replacement within 2-3 weeks. The new one is not possessed or dancing across the counter. Good power, 3 speeds, 2 attachments (which I seem to use without the power - such as mixing spices). Thank you for standing behind your product in a volatile economic time.
