I don't remember recommending chemicals and I don't see it in my post. So I'm a little confused are you bolstering my point or did I miss something?

>Crowds out weeds

Define weeds. Do you mean noxious invasive plants or are you referring to dandelions and such just trying to do their job?

Keep in mind some people refer to clover as a weed since it fell out of favor because of bee allergies. It used to be standard in turf mixes. So if you don't want people giving you crap for having a weed infested lawn this is not the way. The only way to please those people is to have a singular type of grass growing from edge to edge, no flowers just blades of grass.

Micro clover is fine, but from my experience it will eventually just become clover. My parents lawn was mostly clover and there wasn't a ton of reseeding needed with kids and dogs running all over it.
