      My parents outsource their Lawncare to me, and I have been taking the huge patch of clover near a corn field and transplanting it around their yard. Just cutting a shovel ful of dirt out and swapping them, and watering the area.

      No idea if it’ll work the way I want it to, but I guess I’ll see if it spreads this summer.

      I’d love to go to my in-laws and use a big seed spreader to throw clover and other native plants around, but that would just lead to them killing it all and hiring a lawn company to replant Kentucky bluegrass or something lame like that.

        Clover is pretty hardy and in my experience doesn’t even fight the grass aince they thrive on different nutrients or something like that.

          Clover and grass benefit each other in my experience, especially because clover fixes nitrogen. Wherever we have clover, the grass is visibly happier and tends to be hardier to adversity.
