Planted by my septuagenarian father with just seeds and water. This is three weeks in. He had to water a bunch at first while it was taking root, but it should need less water than grass. The grass prior was pretty toast, but he took the time to remove crabgrass.
I will take a nap on it next time I visit and let you know :)

Oh wowwwww.
Was it grass before when you had to tear that up first?
Did the Clovers propagate by themselves after you put in a few patches?
Tell me as much of the story as possible if you have the time inclination.
Also, do you take naps on the clovers and does it stay in your clothes?
It’s difficult for me to imagine having a clover lawn and not sleeping on it.
You just go outside and grab some clovers to cook sometimes and stuff haha.
Oh it looks so nice.

Whooooa yusss, all clover lawns are welcome. That’s awesome.
That’s good to know that your dad was able to put it in so simply too.
Wow! It looks so lush for 3 weeks since, that’s amazing.
I heard about alternative lines a while ago and decided I didn’t want grass, but I had never considered clover and that seems pretty great

Not for nothing it is often desired to mix grasses in with clover.
Monocultures are rarely ever good.
Clover is awesome but it’s not a hardy plant, it tears and crushes easily, so mixing some native grasses in with it will increase its durability.
That said if you can just plant clover and let wildlife seed the rest then you’re in business.
