I’ve heard they’re better for pollinators, are more drought resistant, and are easier to maintain.
It’s hard to see a downside.
Has anyone here made the change? How’d it go?
I love my clover yard. When I bought my place, it was hydro seeded. I made sure to sow clover shortly after the grass was sprouted and trying to establish. The first year was pretty tough, but even in the peak of summer when grass was getting baked, clover hung on longer. This year, the clover is amazingly successful. I would absolutely recommend a sea of clover to keep your mowing needs down while promoting diversity and a pretty, deep, green.
Inadvertently, yes. I love it, and highly recommend it.
We sort of had this happen but I think last year I helped it develop a lot more. Last year I mowed around the clover patches and left a number of clover “islands.” The bees of course loved it. This year there is so much clover that the clover island would be most of the backyard. I’m interested in how the clover will do through the summer as the grass has been scorched the last few years.
