Thank you!

I think the best option for your yard is microclover, or a microclover and drought-tolerant grass mix. This provides resilience, heat tolerance, and a uniform lawn appearance.

Great to hear!

Still nice video, tho! <3

Sorry to hear that! Regardless of which ground cover you choose, it is important to keep it short and neat to deter ticks (they like tall vegetation - just like leaf litter, because they like moist areas). You can also use cedar mulch for its natural repellent properties. And Lavender and Rosemary are tick-repellent plants. You could plant these around your lawn. Additionally, a fence can help keep out wildlife that may carry ticks. Hope this helps! :)

@@garden-club answer came after 10 minutes, wonderfull... Many good ideas, appreciated.

@@FinnBjerke You're welcome!

Thanks for your nice words!

Plant some galic Clove everywhere. They will run away from its smell.

@@31alaana great idea…thank you!

You're totally right, my bad!

You could use a drip irrigation system or soaker hose during dry periods. Of course it totally depends on the types of plants you're going to plant :) Maybe this website will help you as well www.rhs.org.uk/gardening-for-the-environment/water

Thank you!

You'r welcome! Glad to hear you like it. Hopefully you'll find some nice plants for the shady areas in your garden!

Thank you!

Smart!

I've wondered if this is an effective "bait & switch" or just turning your yard into a buffet

That sounds heavenly!

Thanks for saving me time.

Agree! I'm also not a fan of plastic or fake grass, but I wanted to make the video as complete as possible. Still, I do prefer artificial grass over a fully tiled garden ;)

Great to hear that you and your neighbors are so happy with clover!

Great to hear, thank you for your kind words! :)

For Las Vegas I'd recommend Oregano, Blue Fescue, and Pampas Grass. They are all drought-resistant and thrive in full sun :)

They are EXQUISITE!!! 💝

@@hildalopez1252 Couldn't agree more!

Great addition! Sounds like you have a beautiful garden!

Clover can certainly do well in South-East Asia! It may be suitable for shady, well-drained areas in a tropical garden, especially when mixed with other grasses or ground covers native to the region. White Clover (Trifolium repens) or Strawberry Clover (Trifolium fragiferum) are a good choice because of their heat and drought tolerance.

It sounds like your clover has been unusually vigurous! Normally, clovers in a lawn do not grow into 'bushes', but they can become quite robust under certain conditions. For example, during a warm winter, or if the grass stressed harder than the clover (for example by mowing too short). Or maybe the conditions of your soil are a little too good for clover ;)

Great tip! I haven't heard that one before. Thanks for sharing!

Haha no, I'm sure your garden (or any garden in that regard) in safe for AI ;)

?

Never even thought of that, but yea definitely a con

Thank you! For shaded areas, consider planting white clover (Trifolium repens) or alsike clover (Trifolium hybridum). Both are tolerant of partial shade and can thrive in areas with limited sunlight.

Totally agree!

Thank you! :) Have a nice day!

Unfortunately, they can also be found in clover lawns. But ticks are not particularly attracted to clover itself. They are more attracted to the conditions that certain environments provide. Ticks prefer areas that are moist and provide protection, such as tall grass, brush and wooded areas. A well-maintained (clover) lawn, especially one that is mowed regularly to keep it short, does not provide an ideal environment for ticks. However, any lawn can harbor ticks if it borders wooded areas, contains tall grass, or has wildlife passing through. The key to reducing the presence of ticks is maintaining your lawn and minimizing conditions that promote their survival and reproduction.

Deer like clover lawns, and they come with ticks. Mosquitos hang out under in the shade of the clover as well, but they hang out under any moist cover. I'd put in a couple of smaller areas of mini clover from Outsidepride. Good stuff. Grew fast and well, looked great. But, the deer ate it down almost to the ground.

@@l800x8 Always nice to see deer, but also a pity that they like the clover in your garden that much!

I would recommend micro clover (a variety of white clover, Trifolium repens) for its resilience, low maintenance and compatibility with cool season grasses - which you probably have in your lawn.
