unless the area already has an abundance of clover species in it.

The most comprehensive work ever done on ecological turf management. It's a must-have for any superintendent interested in reducing or eliminating chemical pesticide use. It has been said that the only sure things in life are death and taxes but, for golf course superintendents, the requirement to reduce or eliminate pesticides may soon be added to that list. Indeed, for some it is already mandated. Like it or not the environmental movement is gaining momentum and it is not going to go away. Managing golf turf is not an easy task but may soon be daunting if chemical tools are no longer an option. Ecological Golf Course Management addresses the concerns of both the superintendent and the environmentalist. This book approaches quality turf management through an understanding of turf ecosystem dynamics conveyed in easy-to-read text. The turf manager will gain critical knowledge of natural soil system dynamics that has never been discussed in turf books before. This book focuses on managing the health and welfare of all soil organisms from a single-celled bacterium to fully developed turf plants and connects the reader to the important and relevant interactions between them. It points out ways to exploit natural plant defense systems that have been largely ignored and to engage many of the powerful allies that live above and below ground.

While supplies last. A good book for anyone looking for information about maintaining an organic lawn.
It occurred to me that you might like to see a lawn that was planted and maintained using the some of the products from this site.
The pictures here are of my lawn at Dog Team Road in early spring after the first mowing. You may be surprised to know that, I let the Clover, Creeping Charlie and other, so called weeds, participate in the community of plants that is a lawn.
Clover, Birdsfoot Trefoil, Alfalfa, Creeping Charlie or Ground Ivy, all contribute nitrogen to the soil and reduce the need for fertilizer inputs.
Control of these plants is done by proper mowing methods. I try to get the dandelions before they go to seed heads but, don't worry too much as, the bees need them in the early spring when nothing else is flowering and the winter stores at the hive are used up.
During the growing season, I fertilize using the Neptune's Harvest products and the occasional broken bag of organic fertilizer that pops up here sometimes.
In the spring, I sometimes have to mow more than once a week.
