RE: SUNLIGHT??
No on a smallish kill plot - I would not often suggest clover - but it can work. I'd lean towards an annual fall plot (plantedAugust in NE).
This could include all brassicas - and annual clovers like Crimson or arrowleaf (especially further south), but I like Rye or winter wheatfor an annual fall plot. You have all next summer to kill it back, build soil and expand the plot. Later on when you are looking at an acreaand have the soil where you want it - you can consider a 4-5 year clover planting.
