I’ve heard they’re better for pollinators, are more drought resistant, and are easier to maintain.

It’s hard to see a downside.

Has anyone here made the change? How’d it go?

      We sort of had this happen but I think last year I helped it develop a lot more. Last year I mowed around the clover patches and left a number of clover “islands.” The bees of course loved it. This year there is so much clover that the clover island would be most of the backyard. I’m interested in how the clover will do through the summer as the grass has been scorched the last few years.

        Once the grass is gone, you’ll have to mow less. That, combined with the idiosyncrasy of the bees gathering cloves, makes everything worth it.
