About

More and more home owners are seeing the advantages of replacing lawn areas by incorporating microclover seed. As a legume, micro clover fixes atmospheric nitrogen in nodes along its roots. This directly benefits grasses by fertilizing the soil naturally. Healthier grasses maintain a richer colour for longer in the season, and require less water and no further fertilizer whatsoever. Because clover grows so densely, it crowds out weeds, and prevents weed seeds from becoming established.

The Vintage Seed Shop is an online store with the goal is to help people improve their yards with a low-maintenance, sustainable alternative to the modern lawn. This could involve seeding areas exclusively with micro-clover or mixing micro-clover into an existing lawn.

Our flagship product is a micro-clover kit designed to make it easy to get started.

Benefits of micro-clover include:

• Low maintenance - requires little or no watering or mowing
• Draught tolerant once established
• Reduces water evaporation in lawns
• No fertilizers - clover does not require chemical fertilizers
• Color - clover stays green even through the driest parts of summer
• Natural herbicide - crowds out and out-competes weeds
• Tolerates pet urine
• Can be mixed in with grass, or used as a grass alternative
