In particular, clover is good for the lawn as it is nitrogen-fixing. Some clover are much better at this than others, so you might even deliberately choose a clover for your lawn.
Clover used to be a standard part of the mix for lawns (maybe as long ago as Victorian times) for this reason, it helps make the lawn self-sustaining.
To me it looks weird to have a mono-culture lawn, like you're emulating a shag carpet.
- larrik 7y agoYeah, was going to reply with "clover is not a weed, it's included in the seed mixes on purpose".
- aitchnyu 7y agoAre there lawns that still live up to the tradition of "mix" of grasses?
- Faaak 7y agoMy lawn is everything but grass. Then, it's greener than my neighbours and it costs me nothing to operate (no irrigation, mowing twice per month, and that's it). It's actually prettier with the occasional dandelion, and poppy.
