Clover isn't fun to deal with, it really likes to migrate off the lawn into my flower beds, and hide under plants until it's substantial.

Clover is a great nitrogen fixer.

So if you buy products to remove it but then apply other chemicals to add back nutrients, you're simply making the chemical industry happy.

wow, things went further than I thought. Not just allow it, but include it.

I don't use any chemicals on my lawn anyway. I just weed out the clover when it grows into my flower beds. My plan is on removing as much lawn as possible.
