This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Anon is right, but ONLY ABOUT THIS!!! I've heard Nevada has been using this to conserve water. Im gonna put some on my lawn tomorrow.

Clover is a great drought resistant "carpet" as a replacement for the water greedy grass yards (which are also largely impractical).

Also great for bee life and other pollinators. The reason they stopped putting it in lawns was because of selective herbicides that kill all plants EXCEPT grass and some marketing fuck-knuckle (string them all up and ban the teaching of marketing) decided that clover had to go so they could sell herbicides that also kill pollinating insects. Happened in the 50s I think.

Based, I love that this platform doesn't remove morally correct comments like this one

Would planting clover in an already moist lawn be not a so great idea if you're trying to keep moisture away from your house?
