We had to redo our yard a couple years back. The issue was that there was about 2 inches of topsoil and then construction stone. Nothing could grow. I have a neighbor who is clearing and burning and it’s starting to look nice.

When the air temps are consistently above 50 degrees. We seeded micro clover in early September only to have it get totally washed out in a series of heavy thunderstorms. Will be trying again probably late April.

I've read anytime between late winter to early fall will work, early spring being a good time due to it being cool/wet and because seedlings are slow to start. I think it probably depends on the kind of clover too?

I started burning everything yesterday. Burn it all.

I have a massive overgrown yard that was neglected for years. Every year I pick away at it and beat it back more. At this point I'm so overwhelmed I'm literally going to burn everything I can and start over.
