Which one?

All the standard mixes seem to use red clover.

Only concern is build up of nematode with red clover, particularly if wish to go back to AB15 in future.

Is large white vigorous enough?

I' ve got red clover in my AB15 legumus ley and although theres a good amount it is still very open and gangly, not checked the rules but if White clover is an option I will be going with white clover as it does give excellent dense cover in grazing leys
