Diese Pflanze kommt überall hin. Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, es ohne Pestizide loszuwerden? Oder lässt Pepe dies heutzutage für den Naturrasen-Ansatz wachsen? Was ist das?
Looks like clover. It’s actually a pretty useful plant in small quantities because it has nodules in its roots that contain microbes that fix nitrogen from the atmosphere and pull it into the soil in a form usable to other plants. In those quantities I can see it would be a pest though.

Clover! It has deeper roots than grass which means it won’t go brown during hot dry summer weather.

people pay good money for clover seeds to add to/replace their lawn. I *personally* would consider it a win.

Fuck grass and manicured lawns, keep the clover. Healthier, vibrant, green, nitrogen fixing, flowering, better for the soil and nature if you leave it to do its thing.

Clover lawn, I’ve got one, they’re great 👍

Grass is way overrated imo. It does nothing for the environment, and is stupidly needy!
Clover is amazing, and it’s pretty.

Wow youre so lucky people try so hard for a clover lawn im actually going to try myself next year.

It’s clover. It’s fantastic for a lawn if mown in (adds nitrogen back) or left to flower it’s spectacular and good for bees. Its prevalence is a result of the soil/drainage condition and the general weakness of your grass growth. You won’t get rid of it using a pesticide-that’s for insects. You could kill it with a targeted weed killer. But it will keep coming back unless you fix the underlying issues.

Keep it. Less work than removing it. More durable. Stays green longer during drought. Adds flowers. A lawn is just the flat green bit in your garden. Doesn’t have to be grass…

I’ve seeded clover at the front of my house, the back is a bit like this in places, I’m encouraging it. I do want some grass at the back but I’m not getting rid of clover

It is evergreen and looks a lot better in drought, in case all of these “it’s clover, you lucky duck” comments aren’t motivating enough!

Thats clover. It’s a legume that locks nitrogen from the air and can make it available to other plants.
Ever heard of the phrase rolling in clover? That comes from the introduction of clover into grazing pastures which improved arable grazing

Clover! Keep it.
My lawn is now mainly clover (naturally established) and it’s awesome. Low effort, it flowers which the bees absolutely love, and didn’t turn brown in the drought that we had this summer!

Nice clover! I’m planning to sow a bunch next spring, it’s way nicer than lawn.

That’s creeping buttercup, good luck getting rid of it.

Clover fixes nitrogen. Keep it. Grass sucks. Look up Crime pays but Botany doesn’t. Kill yer lawn.

I’ve just deliberately sown a whole lot of this into my lawn to try and make it prettier and more biodiverse 😅

I just bought a big box of clover seeds for this very thing.

Is this the new bloody lawnuk sub??

Great as long as you like to look at your lawn but not walk on it regularly

The difference between this sub and /r/lawncare – where they would have given you a shopping list of toxic chemicals to drench your lawn with – is absolutely hilarious. Well done everyone.

I also have some of this in patches on my lawn this year. I assume if I leave this it will just spread. Should I be mowing all of my lawn still or just mow around the clover? Planning to do last mow of the year this weekend.

Embrace it.

It’s just clovers 🙂

We’ve a communal lawn that was reseeded in spring, the first section was grass then we had a clover/grass mix.
The mix has been great over the dry summer, once established. Its lusher, greener, denser, easier to mow and nicer to sit on.
Oh and better for your soil.
Unless you want really hard wearing its so much better. Enjoy it 😁

Cool, free clover lawn!
