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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Grass isn't inherently a bad idea for a lawn, it's just specific to your individual climate. The main issue is that most of the grasses people plant are native to much cooler climates in Europe.
I have a grass lawn, but it's a native Buffalo grass. It's much more drought tolerant than clover, flowers a couple times a year, doesn't require any maintenance, and provides a natural habitat for native wildlife.
Clover isn't actually much better than most grasses if you are trying to support the natural biodiversity. It's not native to north America, and thus only supports a small range of wildlife that's adapted to it.
A Lot of America's natural ground cover is actually low lying shrubs and flowering plants.
There are some native clovers but otherwise yes
There are native clovers, but they aren't really what you would utilize for ground cover.
