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.

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.
