Clover is an interesting story. Most people grew clover on their lawns instead of grass, in addition to dandelions (For salad) and vegetables. "weeds" were permitted. Clover was grown because it fixes nitrogen into the soil, looks nice, produces flowers, and is very hardy.
Then came the scientist who discovered the herbicide that kills clover, not grass. Out launches a massive ad campaign that pressures the average person into growing grass, with aid of the herbicide, under threat of being basically shunned by society. Over time, it evolved into making the lawn that's greener and has fewer "weeds" than your neighbors, until it came to what it is today: Grass being the most pesticided, fertilized, and watered crop in the united states. For what? A lawn that never looks as good as your neighbors, kills wildlife and reduces biodiversity. A weed is not a weed. It's an organism trying to survive. Respect that and give it a chance.
