Hi, in the UK here. My lawn has a few strong patches of clover which I’d like to encourage to take over the whole place.

For context, I am black-thumbed and the lawn is some rolled turf over terribly hard ?clay soil.

What do I do?

    First off, you don’t want only clover in your yard. It won’t cover the ground like grass will.

    What I would do and have done is get a tiller of some kind and tear up the patches that won’t take. Then put down some good grass seed (not the patch repair shit) and cover it with something meant for that.

    As for the clover itself. It should self seed. Just let nature do its thing. You could also put some in a container with really good potting soil and move it around the yard to help the seeds spread.
