Have any of you heroes done this? I'm tired of grass. Clover looks good, it is easy, and it's less water-intensive.

Apparently back in the day this was a thing. Just curious if any of y'all have forsaken this dumb grass and tried this.

IMHO, it looks like [censored]. Grass should be bladed and cursed at like a sailor at least five times a year.

We have one in our neighborhood that is a rent house and I agree looks terrible.

Check out the thread I posted in the diy landscaping section. I was thinking the same thing. The expert opinions say don't do it.

Don’t need to seed for it around here, I fight it like crazy

he is either lying or he cuts his lawn between the yard service coming, you have to cuss it at least a dozen times to make it worth while.

I have a hand that takes care of the yard, he likes it better than working cattle probably because he gets to sit on his butt. I don't really care care as long as it looks nice.

I see monetary possibilities here.


st. paddy's day, 20.00 for 30 mins to find a 4 leaf clover, 30.00 for an hr.

this could even be a 2 week long event leading up to st. paddy's day.

p.s. I get 10% for thinking of it.

I have a friend who's entire lawn is monkey grass. He trims it in the Spring and hires a guy to blow all the leaves out in late Fall.
That's it for the year.

I'm still killing clover , it came early this year

I have it here, it’s green and looks pretty good
Scott’s turf builder started the war on clover , started calling it a weed
Then sell you some weed killer

There is a type of monkey grass that grows in shade. Pretty much the only grass that grows in 100% shade.it takes years, but you can actually mow it fairly low and fill in large shaded areas that will not grow anything else
