Clover Lawn
I
have never heard of or even thought that clover lawns existed until a few months
ago. When I first discovered them, I thought it was a little unconventional. As
it turns out, clover lawns are actually the up-and-coming thing for homeowners.
I’m
sure you remember seeing a few clovers mixed in with grass. I recall a never-ending
search for that oh so special four-leaf clover when I was a kid. Of course, I never
found it but perhaps with this new trend, you just might.
This kind of lawn has really taken shape in the areas experiencing drought. Mainly because these clovers don’t need as much watering as a traditional grass lawn does. People are really drawn to making this switch for a number of reasons, some beneficial for the environment and other reasons beneficial to yourself:
- Attracts bees for pollination
- Fertilizes itself
- Doesn’t discolor because of dog urine
- Inexpensive
- fun fact: can cover 4,000 yards for $4
- alternative: let the clovers you already have take over the rest of your yard
- Can thrive in poor soil
- props to nitrogen
- Stops weeds from growing
- Doesn’t grow as fast as grass
- less yard work (yay)
Clover
lawns have many pros to them that could be enough to convince many others to make
the switch who have not done so already. There are a number of influencers on different
social platforms who have shared their experiences with switching to clover
instead of grass and they express the amount of time, energy, and money they
have saved from taking on this project.
I
can only assume that once the facts and awareness spread, more and more people
will be looking into adopting a clover lawn as well. It has many more upsides than
downsides; at the end of the day, you save money and quite a bit of effort. Isn’t
that everyone’s goal when it comes to yard work?
