‘I have the most beautiful lawn in the area,’ homeowners rave about $22 buy that means ‘less maintenance & mowing’
LAWN envy could be a thing if you start using a $22 buy from Amazon.
Homeowners have been raving about this box of green goodness.
One fan said he now had the “most beautiful lawn in the area.”
Others reported theirs required “less maintenance and lawn mowing.”
The secret behind this backyard miracle is the Scotts Turf Builder Clover Lawn.
“Green lawn with less maintenance,” proclaims Scotts.
But there is no traditional grass in this lawn mix.
This contains strawberry clover, that is packed with nitrogen, which naturally self-fertilizes your lawn.
“Adding clover to your lawn is a low-maintenance way to green up your grass without needing a lot of water,” said Scotts.
“Clover’s deep roots help your lawn stay greener, longer, during short-term drought conditions,” they added.
A clover lawn is less labor-intensive too.
“When you mow, just leave the clippings to naturally feed your lawn,” said Scotts.
Clovers have deep roots, which allow your lawn to stay greener and require less frequent watering than most traditional grasses.
Reviewers have waxed lyrical about this garden product. It does exactly what it says on the box, they say.
“We have tried so many types of grass that claim to be drought tolerant and heat tolerant as our weather is all over the place,” said one person.
Clover lawn - steps for success
There are four steps to success when it comes to a clover lawn.
- Prepare the ground: set the mower to the lowest setting and cut the entire lawn
- Apply: spread clover seed over the entire lawn
- Water: water twice a day for the first two weeks to keep the soil surface wet
- Feed: once clover is firmly established, mow and return clippings to the lawn for natural feeding
“I read that clover is a natural fertilizer for other grasses and I can attest to this. I only had to mow for the grasses because the clover never got to be higher than two inches,” they added.
“It introduced beautiful texture and color and I spend more time enjoying it rather than maintaining it. It looks more whimsical,” wrote another.
“I love the look of fluffy clover dominating over a fine blade of grass, and I know it will be a lot less maintenance and lawn mowing. So this year I bought five bags of this stuff,” said one fan.
“Plant a clover lawn and eliminate lawn-related expense and work,” insisted another fan.
There were wildlife benefits to a clover lawn for a second fan.
“We now have more bees for our plants and butterflies and hummingbirds. with our environmentally friendly lawn,” they said.
“No money spent for water, weed control, fertilizer, weed or pest control. The clover creates a carpet that prevents weeds from growing,” they added.
