In reply to Deborah. Hi Deb... You can start overseeding with the clover starting in April and repeat again in the Fall. Overseeding in the summer will not be as succesful due to heat and water constrictions.

In reply to Jane Anderson. April is a good time to lay the seed down. You'll want to cover it if you have quail in your area. It's fairly quick to germinate as soon as the warmth comes.

In reply to Catherine. Catherine... Rocks will throw too much heat. Yarrow is a better way to go.

In reply to Catherine. Hello Catherine, I would suggest planting yarrow as it is a native plant and would spread around the rocky areas. We will have yarrow at our Spring Plant Sale.

Where can I get seeds for that and possibly other native grass seed that has good root systems to stabilize slopes

In reply to Sigire Kendrick. When is it best to seed? If I don’t want to remove the grass what would be the result if I overseeded the lawn several times in a season.

when should I start laying down clover seed? I live in West Kelowna and our lawn is non existent. I want to lay clover instead of grass and want to get a good start on it this spring.

HI I have a back yard that has a blend of rock/pebbles and dirt as a result of septic work. The digging and subsequent fill has resulted in rocks blending with dirt with more dirt than rock. Grass is growing in some spots as are some weeds. Can clover grow in these conditions or will I need to bring in more topsoil?

HI. Currently I have a river rock sized mixed with dirt, yard. Being Peachland, there are lots of rocks and with a dog, Im wanting something that is esthetically nice and low maintenance. This seems like a nice alternative. Can this grow in tough ground? Dirt with rocks.? Its mostly unhealthy dirt mixed with sand. Typical Peachland ground. Thank you
