Instead of grass, does any one have clover? Grups killed my grass last summer, over septic system leach field, so been trying to grow clover there.

I LOVE the aroma of clover......I buy the perfume from Demeter

A quick check of Google - you can buy clover plants.  It usually shows up in my lawn where I don't want it.   LOL

I would - rake area - add new top soil and plant like you would with any plant.

Don't know if grubs like or dislike clover roots but......I know honey bee keepers will like a patch of clover hereby!

My neighbour grew clover years ago, so it would spread and come up in patches in my lawn. I thought it was nice until my dog was stung on two paws and his lip in one week. The following week I was stung on the foot.

Not sure what the offending stinger was. Maybe wasp? Hornet?

Swelled and hurt like a bugger though!

Since then I treat any clover in the lawn to kill it.

Clover was routinely added to seed mixtures in the 50's & 60's. Clover takes the nitrogen from the air & fixes it into the soil. 

Yes, bees & bunnies like clover.

It's difficult to remove it as it grows with a spread out root system.

Yes, it is good ,no fertilizing, good for bees, i  remember as a kid i was stung quite often  ,going barefoot ,flip flops,  but it is for front area, my dog does not go there. I really like clover.

I remember as a child, my mother had our lawn seeded with clover.  We had bees galore.  Back then, (mid 50s) it was a status thing to have a beautiful clover lawn.
