    Its a constant shift in the balance between the ratio of grass and clover at my house. The clover bind nitrogen, and fertize the soil locally. When the soil gets more fertile the grass take over a bit, until the intrigen is consumed, and thus leaving room for increasing the population of clover.
    The clover is present locally where i live, so no seed needed. I really like this balance between clover and grass.
    I never add fertilizer or water, just using the lawn mower

      @TheCloverSculptor ปีที่แล้ว +10

      @@GreenRescueLawncare Clover, including microclover, can indeed tolerate a range of soil conditions, including acidic soil. However, it's not accurate to say that clover prefers 'sick' soil. Clover, like many plants, thrives best in well-balanced, nutrient-rich soil.
      One of the many benefits of clover is its ability to fix nitrogen, effectively fertilizing the soil it grows in. This can actually improve the health of your soil over time, not worsen it.
      It's always important to monitor and amend your soil as needed for the specific plants you're growing. Each lawn and garden is unique and may require different care strategies.

      @IndianInTheInn clover does NOT fix soil it just happens to prefer SICK ACIDIC SOIL if you had 3 soil samples and 1 was ph 5 vs ph 7 vs ph 9 ,, I'll tell you rn the plants that would naturally grow in your ph 7 are actually equally offering nutrient that they are taking instead of "fixing" Nitrogen. That term is thrown around so much its such a garbage marketing term.

Did this for several years then decided to go with zoysia which looks really nice and low maintenance. Goes dormant in winter and greens up again by spring. Well I had my zoysia lawn for just one Season. Here it is coming into mid may and it has not greened up while the other yards I've seen in my county with zoysia have greened up. Tired of dealing with this crap so I heard someone say 'clover yard". Now let's see if I'm able to lose a clover yard also?

      @jester9159 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You'd have to cut your existing grass pretty low and remove as much thatch as possible to expose some soil for clover seed to take hold. The downside to that, however, is that by dethatching too much and exposing the dirt you run the risk of weeds propagating. I tell you all this because I threw clover seed on my existing grass and, MAYBE, 2-3% even remained/germinated.

    • @TheCloverSculptor
      @TheCloverSculptor ปีที่แล้ว

      Clover, in general, can be companion planted with wildflowers, though the success of this pairing can depend heavily on the specific type of clover and the wildflowers in question. Clover's nitrogen-fixing ability can enhance the soil's fertility, potentially benefiting companion wildflowers.
      That being said, clover can sometimes be vigorous and competitive, which might overpower some wildflower species. This is where the type of clover you choose becomes particularly important. If you're considering this kind of companion planting, I'd suggest looking into a variety called microclover (Trifolium repens var. Pirouette).
      Microclover is a low-growing variety that typically reaches 4-6 inches in height but can reach up to 8-10 inches under optimal conditions. It is less aggressive than many other types of clover, and its shorter stature can be less likely to overshadow wildflowers. Plus, its shallow root system is less likely to compete with the deeper roots of many wildflowers.
      In terms of wildflower selection, go for those that can withstand the competition from a ground cover like clover. Wildflowers that are tall, robust, or native to your area, and hence adapted to your local soil and climate conditions, are likely to be more successful.
      Even with microclover, monitoring and management are crucial to prevent it from dominating your wildflowers. This could involve occasional mowing or trimming to maintain a balance between the clover and the wildflowers.
      To sum it up, while clover can be companion planted with wildflowers, using a variety like microclover and choosing compatible wildflowers can significantly improve the chances of a successful and balanced coexistence.

    looks like your neighbor doesn't tend to their dandelions. That will continue to cause you problems. I accidentally killed part of my lawn and seeded in white clover. So far so good. First year.

    It's too bad that in Ontario White Sweet Clover is invasive and is a threat to endangered grasslands and prairie habitats.

    Dandelions are highly nutritious not sure why your pulling them up, I add them to my salads and to my jars of honey to infuse the honey with more goodness and nutrition 😊

    They dont tell you about the part where you get infested by crabgrass. Then your crabgrass killer also kills the clover. :( Ask me how I know. I suppose this is possible, but need to knock out the crabgrass or other weeds first before you plant the clover.

      Because of neighbors. The dandelion seeds blow in their yards and they don't like it. Clover doesn't blow into neighbor's yards. It stays to itself.

    Clover is an invasive grower because the roots spread out far and fast. The roots can even creep over edging and enter into your gardens.

      Most turf grasses are also non-native and invasive. Clover, at least, is more sustainable if you want a lawn carpet.

      @@jolenethiessen357 lol this. Every one uses invasive grasses for their lawns, use 2-4 times the water to maintain them, and mow them with 2 stroke gas engine powered noise makers so nobody in summer can f'ing hear anything. Humans have changed the face of the planet for millennia. We are nature's gardeners, or at least we used to be before massive industrialization. Most of he Amazing rain forest has been changed and cultivated by former civilizations. There's very little that's natural about it. The best we can do now is use efficient plants for the region. Nobody will use prairie grasses in cities, so let's just be honest.
