[quote=Anonymous]Small backyard isn't full shade by any means, but we have a large tree that shades a lot of it - so filtered light, I guess (with some places that get more sun). The lawn has been largely neglected over the years (we moved in a couple years ago, it was neglected then and we're just now getting around to dealing with the backyard), the grass is patchy, and trying to figure out what to do. Typical northern VA clay soil. Would microclover work in these conditions? We plan to seed this spring to try to get some more coverage, but I'm not convinced grass is going to suddenly grow all lush. Should we use both grass and microclover seed? Are there alternatives I'm not considering (that is still usable, we can't turn it into a huge wildflower garden). Our front lawn also doesn't get a ton of sun, grass is decent there with some microclover mixed in (although we seeded some bare spots in the fall and those have only grown so-so).[/quote]
