Although it’s true that clovers can live in drier soils, you should plant them in areas that have moisture. To see the best results, you should keep them in areas where the moisture is even throughout the entire ground. This will keep them healthier and happier. Of course, you can keep your clovers in dry soil, just be prepared to see less growth. In dry soil, clovers don’t get the water they need to sustain growth, therefore limiting their abilities. If you want a more contained clover field, then keep them on dry soil. If not, then try wet soil.
