Clover is amazing.
Up until the 1950s, clover seed was included with grass seed mixes sold in the United States. It was just a standard part of every yard in America. Then, after World War II, the chemical industry introduced the idea of a monoculture lawn, and biodiversity became shunned. But with that loss of biodiversity in our yards, and an increased use in chemical herbicides, we've seen a host of problems arise, including water and air pollution, degraded soils, a decline in pollinator populations, turf disease, turf pests and an explosion of health problems for people and pets.
The Clover is Not a Weed campaign is sponsored by Good Sweet Earth Grassroots, a non-profit organic lawn company based in West Michigan. We are giving away a quarter-pound (four ounces) of Dutch White Clover to households that request it, free of charge. We only ask that those households pay shipping, and are limited to one quarter-pound package of seed. How are we able to do this? Through the generous donations of individuals and organizations that support biodiverse lawns, protecting our pollinators, and soil health.
