This isn’t just a passing fad.  This is a big deal!

You may have seed articles about turning your lawn into a clover field or allowing “weeds” to take over your yard.  This has a significant effect on your local ecology.

People plant grass and mow the lawn.  The ground under the grass becomes clogged with thatch.  Grass needs fertilizer and extra care to keep it looking nice.

When a farmer plants crops, they rotate the crops every couple of years to keep from depleting the soil and skewing the chemistry.  Keeping a grass lawn does exactly what the farmer is trying to prevent.

When you plant a variety of clover and native plants, you have a lot of different species with different needs.  Clover is a ‘nitrogen-affixing’ plant which means that it enhances the soil.

Plus, these plants shouldn’t be mowed.  Let them grow and the extra height and greenery will make your yard much more drought-resistant.  You’ll get more pollinators and feed more native creatures.

Think about it!
