<div class="glossary"><p>Lawns over-seeded with micro clover are an excellent option for maintaining a healthy, dense lawn. Micro clover lawns stay green much longer than traditional lawns through summer dry periods and are generally unaffected by Metro Vancouver’s wet winter conditions. Micro clover lawn mixes do not require fertilizer because the clover fixes nitrogen, bringing nitrogen from the air into the ground, enriching the soil. This supports healthy growth of all plants in the area and helps the plants to naturally resist weeds. Yarrow is another common plant that is often found in lawns. Some consider it a weed, but it can help create diversity in your lawn, making it more likely to thrive and be resistant to pests. </p></div></div> | | https://growgreenguide.ca/lawns/PlansPic/clover-lawn-thumb.jpg, https://growgreenguide.ca/lawns/PlansPic/clover-lawn-thumb.jpg | 1 | GP0|#6a5b99ea-d309-4181-b14f-7e1a580a317f;L0|#06a5b99ea-d309-4181-b14f-7e1a580a317f|All Over Clover Lawn;GTSet|#191f4161-014f-4820-a504-9de2fb90b566 |

They grow on rocks, rich organic soils, mineral soils and tree bark. These local, generalist mosses are also adaptable, which makes them good lawn substitutes. Generalist mosses prefer shady, sloping or undulating ground, exposed soils and rocks, and coarse woody debris. Most established mosses also persist under sunny and dry conditions, however, they may show signs of stress.</p><p>Other than the weedy, common lawn moss (Rhytidiodelphus squarrosus), the vast majority of mosses do not compete well with lawn grasses. Mosses don’t like heavily fertilized and limed soils and cannot compete with healthy grasses. So, you will need to choose, either turf-grass (with or without Rhytidiodelphus) or just moss. That means when preparing for a moss ‘lawn’, all turf-grasses and broad-leaved weeds need to be completly removed.</p>
