This! Clover was not considered a weed, and was known to be valuable in lawns/pastures. But the chemical companies couldn’t figure out how to make a weed killer that didn’t also kill clover, so they simply branded clover a weed. We need to get past this idea that a nice green grass lawn is a good thing. They are terrible for the environment. We have a lawn that requires no water, lime, fertilizer, or herbicides. In the spring it’s a beautiful mixture of cool season grass and flowers (violets, dandelion, etc). In early summer the clover takes off and by July when things heat up, the clover and warm season grasses start to take over. By mid fall, everything is dormant but the cool season grasses. The lawn is pretty much always green from April to December, is always nice to walk on, and only needs to be mowed once a week at most.
