[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If anybody has attempted to grow a 100% clover lawn -- or a lawn that involves a mixture of clover and grass -- I would be interested to hear about your experience.

Are you happy with the lawn's appearance and its ability to withstand hot, dry summers?

What type of clover seed did you use?  And if you used grass seed as well, what type of grass?

How does a clover lawn look in winter? Is it reduced to something close to bare dirt? Or does some vegetation remain?

I'm a year late to the conversation, but I planted an all-clover lawn this year. I began by tilling the soil and reducing it to bare dirt. I then seeded the lawn with Dutch White clover. This was in mid-April. Germination occurred within a few days, and I now have a thick clover lawn that I think looks great. So far, it has stood up to foot traffic. Yes, the bees like it, but they seem to just mind their own business ... nobody has been stung so far. We don't have hundreds of bees visiting at each moment; rather, there are a few scattered bees here and there.
