My hometown’s newspaper just published an opinion piece about the disastrous effects, ecologically and financially, that lawn care causes. Not totally surprising but it’s important to note that this is a retirement community in the bible belt!
Y’all, it’s working! Keep spreading the word!
My dad (who keeps putting herbicides on the native yarrow in his yard), just told me he wants to add microclover to his lawn. So the idea is really getting out there!
I don’t quite know where you live, but AFAIK clover is native to Europe, like many lawn grass. I wonder if there are people who know more than me to explain whether clover is better ecological than lawn grass in the U.S.
On the other hand, clover is pretty and low maintainace, so that is obviously a win for the environment. I am just wondering about the ecological impact.
