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.

Clover dies easily. Whether that's people walking on it, temperature extremes, too little water, snow. That makes a lawn look patchy. It can be used in certain places, but definitely not all.

Sure, the issue is people have masssssive fucking yards that they don't walk on. Usually front yards. A mix of clover and grass is best.

As long as they don't get snow or high temperatures, clover might be okay. Problem is that most of the U.S. gets either snow or high temperatures. There's no way to prevent the die-off with snow, but you'll need to irrigate frequently and copiously to keep clover alive in high temperatures. It's a big waste of clean water, IMHO.

I'm in Alberta so both cold as fuck and prone to hot droughts. The only thing that I can guarantee that will stay green and survive here is clover. I refuse to water my lawn, the key is to let it grow, flower and then self seed.

That's crazy. I need to import your mutant clover over here to Denmark. Are there different varieties? I guess there must be.

Its just a mix of white and micro clover.
