Nutrient rich is what you want for those completely uniform boomer tier lawns with only one species of grass. Whereas nutrient poor forces the grass to take a step back and leave more space for all those broad leaf plants.
- emodendroket 5y agoI don't think you really have to worry that the soil being too rich is going to prevent hearty species from growing. It'll happen unless you go out of your way to prevent it.

I've got lots of flowering plants in the grass now, without any extra effort on my part. I did overseed with clover this year, but I think naturally occurring clover had already started to take hold last year too.
