00:05Encourages Biodiversity Clover's leaves and flowers create habitats for beneficial

00:10insects and soil fauna, boosting natural pest control and aeration. Suppresses weeds

00:17Dense, stolen, spreading clover shade soil and competes for resources,

00:21reducing crabgrass, chickweed, and other opportunistic weeds. Softens lawn texture.

00:27Tender trifoliate leaves form a cushiony carpet pleasant underfoot,

00:31helping prevent erosion and compaction along frequently traveled paths. Thrives under foot

00:37traffic. Adapted to grazing pressure, clover rebounds after trampling and tolerates low mowing,

00:42maintaining coverage in play or pathway areas. Natural Nitrogen Fixer. Rhizobium bacteria in clover

00:49roots fix atmospheric nitrogen, enriching soil, greening turf, and reducing reliance on synthetic

00:55fertilizers. Low mowing maintenance. Low, spreading growth extends mowing intervals.

01:02Flowers stay below blades, offering neat blooms and smoother, easier lawn upkeep.

01:07Improved drought resilience. Deep, efficient roots access moisture reserves. Keeping clover

01:13green during dry spells and reducing irrigation needs in water-conscious landscapes.

01:18Erosion control. Dense mats and fibrous roots stabilize soil on slopes. Disperse raindrop impact

01:24and curb runoff that carries sediment and nutrients. Boost soil structure. Root channels improve aeration

01:31and drainage, inviting earthworms and microbes that build stable soil aggregates and reduce

01:36compaction naturally. Reduces fertilizer needs. Nitrogen fixing and microbial stimulation lower nutrient

01:44inputs. Saving money while minimizing pollution from fertilizer runoff into waterways.
