Clover is great for rotational gardening. Plant clover wherever you plan to grow a garden and let grow for at least one grow season. When you plant crops, smother or till the clover into the top few inches of soil to retain the nitrogen, and when you rest the soil, replant clover to restore nitrogen levels for 1-3 years, and plant clover in rows between your crops. Also makes a great nitrogen source for composting; be sure to save your lawn clippings, or let the clippings decay in place to self-fertilize your clover lawn (just don't let clippings pile up too thick on live plants).

@@stateportSound_wav it doesn't, but it is usually what is meant bc it's the important part. For a species to be invasive, they have to be able to survive without human input in the new environment AND be able to reproduce. So basically what you imagine is necessary to replace native species or populate a new environment. Some non-native species can be grown e.g. in flower pots and you carry them inside every winter and such. If you were to plant them in the ground and just left them, they would die. That is non-native non-invasive. But "nature finds a way", it's good to be careful with releasing non-native species regardless, for the sake of your own biome.

@@stateportSound_wav if it's native to your area, it isn't invasive (by definition), though planting any plant intentionally in large quantities is upsetting the natural balance of flora in whatever yard you plant it in. the only truly "natural" lawn would just be to leave it covered in whatever ferns, shrubs, flowers, and whatever other plants it was when the plot of land was undisturbed. however, if native clovers spread to nearby areas, it's not too big a deal, since they're already part of that ecosystem. their numbers will be artificially higher thanks to humans planting, which isn't ideal, but it's _much_ better than invasive plants, which can totally disrupt native ecosystems if and when they spread past a lawn into the surrounding environment. lawn grass is invasive, for example.

Just a reminder; many things labeled as native at your local garden store are NOT actually native to your region. DO YOUR RESEARCH and make sure that, if native is your goal, you are planting real native species to your area. This includes native grasses, flowers, shrubs, trees ect. And let's make sure we differentiate between TURF grasses and native prarie grasses which are AMAZING for the soil and have deep deep roots beds that re-energize the nitrogen cycle for the soil, refill ground water reserves and are not maintained in any way similar to a turf lawn.

…grass lawns themselves were a stupid trend to begin with that started out as a status symbol and then got really accessible thanks to lawn mowers and are now just a boring and widespread resource-hole. It used to MEAN something to have a short-cut and maintained lawn when rich people had to have servants maintain it by hand. Now unless you sink the time/money into maintaining a REALLY pristine professional-grade lawn, it’s just “oh I have a $100 push mower and a pump sprayer full of weed killer”. That’s the basic level of lawn that you see 90% of the time and it sucks. It dries out unless you water it a ton and fighting the weeds is a losing battle in many regions. I don’t see anything wrong with un-lawning your lawn as long as it’s tastefully done. Weeds and other imperfections are actually a lot less obvious in a bed of non-bladed broadleaf plants like clover. Easier and more aesthetically pleasing than a half-assed grass lawn. Either do a grass lawn right or do something like a clover lawn IMO, this should catch on and we’d see less barren brown patchy lawns everywhere.🤷♂️

We overseeded with clover the past couple years and not only does the clover look fine, it helps the soil retain moisture longer because of the broad leaves, it also helps block other weeds from growing and our lawn has never looked so green, the grass is growing better than it has in the past too. Lastly, we feed our clippings to our chickens and they seem to attack the bags with clover in them more than those with just grass.

Clover is just a genus. ( _Trifolium_ ) But which species do you use in the US, and which middle European species would be suited here in Germany? The most common species here in Germany are _Trifolium repens_ and _Trifolium pratense_ . Edit from 5 months later: Violonic is incorrect. It's not native. It was introduced to North America in the 1700s or so. So don't use it.

Another great thing about clover is that it NEVER grows super high. So even if a homeowner is too old or sick to take care of the yard, or if a house is abandoned and hasn't been looked after in years, the yard wouldn't be overgrown or look crazy. I see all these mowing videos and I wish they would plant clover seeds in all of the unkept yards.

Clover is also a great protein source for herbivores that can eat a high protein diet. Also, clover leaves the soil healthier than before it was planted, unlike grass, which needs constant outside input, like calcium+magnesium, NPK fertilizer and water during dry periods.

@@jackblaisdell4097 It also depends on the soil and what input is needed. Where I live, the soil is incredibly sandy, so it becomes acidic over time simply because rain leeches away the calcium and magnesium in the soil, which leads to moss taking over. Pure grass lawns also don’t provide humus or structure to the soil, so the soil becomes almost barren over time. A clay soil is more resilient to these issues, and will need less input in the beginning, but the soil does become “tired” as the years go by without a diversity of plants. A clover lawn adds humus and nitrogen to the soil, which feeds the soil food web. However, you might need some input occasionally, if your soil was poor to begin with. If you compost, then a drizzle of compost on the lawn every year or every two years is usually fine.

The thing is, a clover lawn isn’t for everywhere. Yes, it has beneficial properties that is far better than the fake grass bull that seems to be so prominent in manicured lawns (notably in suburban communities) that need a ton of resources and money to keep it looking “natural” (despite it not even being close to looking like such in comparison to where it grows with zero effort), and clovers absolutely can be an alternative to that to keep from using so much resources … which I am all for and would rather see if someone *_HAS_* to choose between “buy grass or transplant it for aesthetics” or “plant clovers and use less resources” - obviously the latter will be more appealing and eco-friendly overall. However, not everyone should do it just because it looks nice as it absolutely can be an invasive plant that isn’t for all places, much like how hearty _appearing_ grass is just not meant to survive in desert environments where many will transplant it often. If you can grow grass naturally with no effort, you really don’t need to go all in with clovers just because. They can be rather invasive when it comes to plants native to an area that should rightfully thrive where it naturally grows instead of being snuffed out for “prettiness” and “aesthetics”. Yes, that includes weeds that are also invasive, but at least they’re natural to the area and thrive alongside its ecosystem. The clovers spread and can be very hearty, but also hard to contain (which can then affect other plants or other lawns on other properties if one isn’t maintaining it properly, which one will still need to do). I’m the type of person that would rather see people blend with their native environments rather than constantly transplant stuff for looks. Nothing looks goofier than seeing thick, bouncy, bright green plastic look grass on lawns against a desert backdrop - same with clovers. It just all looks so out of place and shows the aesthetic is more important to someone than the actual ecosystem itself. BUT …. if one must, then at least clovers are a much better alternative given it uses less resources. It’s just that people really, really, really need to look into how clovers do for their area with natural plants in their zone (or any plants they have) instead of running and doing it because they saw a video or post on social media about it and figured “OH I WANNA DO THAT”. Don’t just run straight for aesthetics, but actually do the research because not all lawns and environments are the same.
