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

Yup!

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

@garyb.4080 Год назад

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 🐝

@markb8954 Год назад

I like clover too. We have both white and pink. Looks nice & keeps our bees happy. Bees make the gardens full of pollinated veggies.

@G.S.W.SewmesomeMusic Год назад

Yep green is green! Love them BEES!

@guyh.4121 Год назад

Depends on what type of clover. Red good, white not so much. If you want to get rid of clover you don’t need chems. You can spread white sugar on it, and it’ll kill clover and fertilize the soil at the same time.

@nebulousvoid Год назад

@@guyh.4121 Very interesting, do you have more info? How does it work? I too like my clover and Creeping Charlie and prefer them both to grasses. What else will the sugar harm? I know my ants will love it!

@guyh.4121 Год назад

@@nebulousvoid ..I just got it off another video and it seems to work for me. I have a big patch of white clover and virtually no grass in the area.

@miked6335 Год назад

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.

@torreyintahoe Год назад

Glad to hear you say this. I've never gotten into lawn care that much and trying to up my game. I have it in my lawn and I've always thought it looked pretty nice.

@kurtkennedy5051 Год назад

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.

@edwardjackson9871 Год назад

How do you plant clover? Do they sell clover seed like grass seed? I’d like to put down clover too.

@kurtkennedy5051 Год назад

@edwardjackson9871 Yes. I bought mine through a local seed company in Colorado called Pawnee Butte Seed company. They asked me several questions about my landscape, Sq. Ft, etc. Then they suggested the amount of seed needed for that area. Just to warn you, it took a couple of years before it started filling in thicker.

@chuck_howard Год назад

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

@thisbushnell2012 Год назад

Dandelion is a permaculture food source as far as I'm concerned. From wine and tea friendly flowers down through salad and stir-fry leaves to multi-purpose food/beverage roots.

@chuck_howard Год назад

@@thisbushnell2012 I have eaten dandelion greens and fried up dandelion flowers. They are not an endangered species where I live. Just because I grow more clover in my yard for the bees and native pollinators does not mean I am for eradicating dandelions everywhere. If all my neighbors grow corn and I grow squash it does not make me anti-corn.

@larryrunske8401 Год назад

Clover attracts honey bees . WINNING

@tycox8704 Год назад

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

@johnhiggs325 Год назад

I used a herbicide on my gravel drive for a couple of years, but overspray and leaching caused two of my old white oaks serious damage. That sealed the deal on never using that crap again. Now I tamp and roll in the spring to fix frost heave and just mow the drive very low. As soon as things dry out in late spring, everything looks great.

@rodneytyus Год назад

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.

@Don.Challenger Год назад

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.

@sbffsbrarbrr Год назад

I've given up on trying to control weeds since I try not to spray too many chemicals. I like the way clover feels and looks but it's difficult mowing the lawn. I have to move very slowly and look out for the honey bees.

@jaybutler9797 Год назад

@weskarcher483 Год назад

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.

@richh1576 Год назад

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'.

@gerryhenning7337 Год назад

I’ve used Fert-a-lime weed free zone for white clover in the past, I add a little 2-4-D and usually have to apply a couple of times but it burns clover out without disrupting the turf too badly!

@susanbaker2796 Год назад

Oh wow. Super helpful. Thank you!

@johnhiggs325 Год назад

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.

@conradcomics Год назад

I tell ya, I know the Iodosulfuron in Celsius is supposed to be the new hotness, but that Dicamba in Celsius is still a clover killer. ...and I think Dutch White is a warm-season Clover, so I don't think heat necessarily damages it, or at least doesn't damage it any more than an other warm-season plant.

@not-stock Год назад

I like the look of clover in the lawn. However, each clover stem is like a little tube of water. When you mow, this moisture causes the grass and clover cutting parts to pack under your deck, even when mowing in dry weather. So your deck is full of organic cement every week. My experience, SE MN mostly clover lawn.

@Thelawncarenut Год назад

I think it's really cool as an accent, like a transition between lawn and landscape. But I don;t see it as a "complete lawn replacement" or anything close to that.

@loricawley54 Год назад

We’re in west Tx (same zone as North Tx), and also have two areas where grass won’t grow bc there’s too much shade. We’ve put down sod several different times, and it always dies. So, we ordered some of the micro clover seeds to put down in those two areas. We haven’t spread it yet bc we have a retaining wall to finish around a flower bed first which is on the agenda for this weekend. Once we get that wall built and there’s not as much traffic in that area, we r going to spread the micro clover seed.

Yep and it works on a ton of different weeds. It's expensive but very well worth every penny. You get bang for buck with how great a shelf life it has due to barely needing to mix a lot of the solution each use. You could easily get a 10 oz. Bottle and have it last 3 years or more cause of the mix rates. Practically pays for itself over time.
