Reply to comment by rabbiferret in For those with yards, when are you planning on reseeding or planting new grass? by raycus92

We did this and love it. We will add more clover seed this fall.

do you remember what kind of clover you used? I was trying to find the native clover but without luck.

Red and white Dutch clover is “naturalized”. There are 3 native clover to the area and they are kind of rare. (Don’t quote me, I’m semi drunk and going off memory, not a botanist). No grass that people plant in their lawns is native, and it is all very taxing on the soil. There are native grasses but lawns are not how they live in the wild. Clover>grass

We got a short red clover seed that we were told would be better than grass. I do not believe it is native.

It was nothing fancy. Just some red clover over seeded in the fall. We put some lime down the year before. We lightly fertilize with less than recommended (I would rather have too little than run off). I never water my lawn. A precious resource such as water is saved for the produce gardens.
