I 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.

I 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.
