Cover crops

Hey everyone, I am new to Permies and I want to introduce myself and ask for an opinion. My name is Vase Angjeleski, I am from Macedonia, now renamed in North Macedonia, however, an amateur gardener interested in permaculture, silvo-pastures etc. My question now would be, and I apologize if there already is answered, if I grow lets say white clover in a no-till garden, and just transplant the plants, like tomatoes, peppers, cabbage etc. will it work? I mean, will they grow, will they have any use of the nitrogen fixed from the clover in the soil? My plan is to grow white clover, before I transplant the other vegetables to mow the clover on that piece of land where the vegetables will be transplanted, and just to transplant the other vegetables, sothat they grow together, the vegetables and the clover, and never to till the soil, just to mow and transplant the vegetables needed. Any opinion on this plan of mine?
I thank you all in advance.

Welcome to Permies, Vase! Sounds like you'll fit right in. :)

I've had good success mixing white clover with garden vegetables, and find that the veggies appreciate the nitrogen. And to help your questions get more answers, I've added this post to our cover crops forum. If you haven't found it yet, just follow that link where you can more discussions and questions on cover cropping.

Hello Vase, welcome to Permies.
Yes, transplanting white clover is totally possible, i've been doing it by the wheelbarrows this year.
I've grown it into the beds and am now transplanting it onto the pathways which are mostly straw and woodchips.
I've transplanted red winecap mycelium into the walkways. And have had some mushrooms. The clover will keep it moist for longer coming summer and the mycelium of this kind can make connections with root systems of veggies i understood. So in theory it might exchange sugars from the leafs for the nitrogen the whiote clover produces. Win-win situation.

My experience with white clover is such that it stunts small plants from getting big. I grow a lot from saved seeds and like to throw it about and have it come up by rain. If i plant bigger plants in the clover and make sure it gets space the plants will happily grow. Seedlings tend to remain quite small though with the clover around. Therefore i move it onto the path ways, it doesn't mind some walking.
I've been thinking of doing a topic on this lately, although i keep coming across people who've been doing exactly what i've been doing since last year on here so there must be some old topic somewhere that i can revive and refresh with some photos maybe later.
Keep us posted! All the best

Thank you both, God willing this spring I will start my plan will keep you posted, how is it going
