6. American spite toward clover in their lawns speaks volumes.

A nitrogen fixer and food for bees, clover suffers from the weed killers many spray on yards multiple times a year. Loss of soil microbes and runoff from weed killers and fertilizers are a detriment to our environment.

Chemical companies don't give a shit and the more we neuter our soils, the more they sell.

I love the look of clover and I'm currently studying how I can use it as a full-time cover in my little flower & shrub garden in place of bark mulch.





Thanks for the post, NJCher!
