Problem: My Clover or Microclover has grown taller/larger than expected!
Possible Causes:
- There has been irregular or lack of mowing (this is especially true for microclover because it requires regular mowing to train the dwarf growth habit)
- There may be an excess of nutrients in the soil, particularly nitrogen
- The weather may be warmer and/or more humid than usual
