Our yard in SW PA has clover everywhere, it's beautiful! It feeds the rabbits, groundhogs, bees and butterflies.

I re-did my backyard lawn after a construction project, so I planted mini-clover instead of grass. It’s awesome.

I wish my whole yard was clover, I’m getting ready to sew the rest of it it makes a great yard, and it’s good for the bees 🐝

I personally like the look of clover. Ended up putting down clover in my backyard where grass was thinning/dying from too much shade and pine trees. The clover is nice and thick, and the turf is the greenest and thickest its been in years.

I keep the clover in my lawn in the upper midwest for the native pollinators.
My lawn is three types of grasses and clover. Clover is about 10% of the total area.

One year the clover almost all died back on it's own. It came back.

My neighbors keep the dandelions going for the bugs in the spring. LOL

Clover was once included in bags of grass seed. Then Scotts developed Weed and Feed which killed clover. So they then convinced us that clover was bad.

Geese, rabbits, and deer. Those are my weed managers. I haven’t sprayed a herbicide in almost a decade.

Here in Northwest Florida the clover greens up much earlier than the grass. It seeds out and dies and fixes the nitrogen on its own about the time the grass is greening up and growing. Keeping the weeds mowed down before they seed will eventually kill them off, albeit more slowly. To each his own, but I much prefer that to the constant use of pesticides.

Pollinators love clover, sit on your front door stoop/porch boiling in the sun while your cat lays comfortable in shade under the cedar tree, and watch honey bees and a bumble or two visit and revisit those little blooms - a terrific show until you fade from heatstroke - time to retreat Mr. Cat.

My cows love clover. Thanks for the education

Had no idea, thanks for sharing. Finally have temps cool enough that I can spot spray for broadleaf (including clover). Thanks Al!

My NW Georgia lawn is native and clover makes up about 20%. My low pasture, next to the house, has red and white clover. I really like the coverage and the fact that white clover supports pollinators especially in the early spring.

Thank you for sharing this. I have doveweed in my garden bed and sprayed Glysophate over a week ago and did not see any improvement. I will spray with Celsius. This is the good thing of being a subscriber 😊

A MAJOR benefit of of clover is its 'attractibility' to pollinators As an avid amateur gardener who has noticed the recent significant decline of virtually ALL pollinators and which has forced such gardeners to tediously HAND POLLINATE to ensure crop yields, the planting/seeding of clover in one's lawn has been a salvation for increased pollinators - especaily european honey bees and wild native bees when the clover is 'in flower'.

[weskarcher]

The clover here in my yard usually dies back in the summer here in Texas. During the summer months St. Augustine chokes it out except in the damp shaded areas where St. Augustine grows thin.

Back in the 60s when my parents put in the lawn up north Kentucky blue the guy said make sure you have some clover and we did it didn’t take over everything so it look nice

[trevormuggeridge]

First Aussie 😁. Al, you teach us something new every day . 😎

I just got back from Turks and Caicos ad I was extremely surprised to see clover down there. It was growing under some bushes on the east side of a building so it got alot of shade.

[philwood]

I have a lot of clover in my yard in S. Atlanta. I love to watch the bees feed off it.
