Clover or dandelions? Why?

Question

I mean in your yard. What do you prefer. I have both and can't decide which I like best.

Answer 1

Clover. Except when I walk barefoot and on bees. It fixes nitrogen, converting it from the atmospheric form into a form usable by plants. So it basically generates free lawn fertilizer. Of course, it also chokes out the grass, so I let it roam in my back yard, while I cultivate a more grass-only lawn out front.

Dandelions are allowed to grow in my wildflower corridor, a right-of-way on my property where I let all sorts of wildflowers grow, both those that were naturally there and some that I've seeded in. I have a lot of butterflies visiting that area, and birds love the little seeds.

Answer 2

It depends on whether you are raising cows or children. Clover isn't of much interest to children and dandelions are not at all interesting to cows.
Rabbits, on the other hand, are interested in both, but, (A word of caution here.) you can't milk a rabbit, and they are more difficult to catch than children.
I trust this has been of value to you, good-day.

Answer 3

Dandelions, Bearded Dragons love them

Answer 4

oh,BOTH!!... dandy-lions are up and there for the first butterflies, long before other nectar flowers are blooming... very important in spring!!!.... and clover keeps our honeybees happy as well as doing good things for the lawn's soil!... if we'd all go back to leaving good things like this IN the yards, we'd be doing something good!!.... yeah, you can still get rid of crabgrass... can't find anything IT"S good for!!... ;-)........
