There's nothing wrong with growing grass mixed with clover. Clover on its own tho won't form a complete groundcover.
There's nothing wrong with having a lawn if you don't live in a drought-prone area. It's a lot less work than anything else people suggest. Just run a mower over it every couple weeks. And just plant with grass seeds adapted for your area, mix with clover, and ignore your stupid neighbours.
- Waterluvian 3y ago…yeah no. I have wonderful neighbours. It’s sad that some people don’t.
- cmrdporcupine 3y agowhat do they have against clover? they sound uptight
- mvdtnz 3y agoClover invades garden beds. It will choke out an edible garden and destroy the aesthetics of an ornamental garden. It will prevent seedlings from thriving. There is absolutely nothing wrong with not wanting clover to invade your garden beds.
- Waterluvian 3y agoBeyond that, they don’t need a reason at all. Imposing one’s beliefs and opinions on a neighbour is the kind of intellectually stunted behaviour that we’re struggling with as a species.
- cmrdporcupine 3y agoI have 6 acres and deliberately seed all over with white and red clover as a cover crop. Never had a problem with it choking out anything, it's easily managed. Crab grass and creeping charlie is the problem here. Chokes out everything else. Maybe it's climate/region dependent, but clover is probably one of the most innocuous things growing here. Fixes nitrogen, is kind of pretty if left to flower, and attracts pollinators.
- dhimes 3y agoThank you. My neighbor planted bamboo! Twice a year I have to dig the frickn roots/shoots out of my yard.
