Melilotus Albus- honey/bokhara/sweet clover

[Wigeon]

Come across this for the first time in 'humus and the farmer'.

Anyone grow it?

It's described as something of a wonder plant both in terms of forage and nitrogen fixation.

We put Sweet Clover into some of our herbal ley mixtures.

Is it ever grown as a straight?

I'm getting my Melilotus mixed up!

We use Melilotus officinalis which is 'Yellow Blossom' sweet clover not a white, doubt there is much difference in the two.

Always used in a mix but as a straight, it's recommended to sow a 6kg/ha.
