Alternative Lawn Love for Clover - with ScottsMiracle-Gro
NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / September 17, 2024 / ScottsMiracle-Gro

As heat and drought are becoming more prevalent throughout the country, many are considering alternatives to traditional turfgrass. One promising option is clover, which offers natural resilience and requires less maintenance compared to conventional turfgrasses.
Let's explore the benefits
One standout feature of clover is its ability to naturally self-fertilize. It works with nitrogen-fixing bacteria to convert nitrogen in the air into usable fertilizer, reducing the need for additional feeding. This helps maintain a thick, green ground cover that requires minimal watering, even during short-term droughts.
Another benefit to clover is that it establishes quickly, so you can enjoy a lush lawn in a fraction of the time. It also grows low to the ground, reducing the need for frequent mowing. Clover thrives in a variety of conditions, from sunny spots to partial shade, and can be easily integrated with existing turf or used to create entirely new lawns and decorative landscapes. We would also like to call out that clover is a favorite among pollinators, attracting bees and other beneficial insects to your garden.
When to plant
We recommend planting this low-maintenance ground cover in late spring to early summer when air temperatures are between 60°F and 80°F. Water two times daily to keep the soil surface wet for the first two weeks. Once your clover is fully established, mow to a height of 4 to 6 inches and return the clippings to your lawn for natural feeding.
Low effort, high impact
For those seeking a sustainable lawn solution, clover offers a natural, eco-friendly alternative. Whether mixed with traditional grasses or as a standalone, clover's self-sustaining properties contribute to a vibrant, green lawn with less effort and environmental impact.
