Clover has its place, too. A low growing legume, it provides its own
nitrogen and shares some of it with surrounding grasses. Clover was
traditionally considered a desirable element in lawns...

Indeed, I throw some out every so often--out here where it's hot and dry
it gradually dies out w/o some help...in moister areas, it'll wax and
wane as the soil N levels rise and fall--when it's low the clover will
flourish for a few years and the grasses will naturally fill in as the N
levels gradually return and the clover will tend to recede...
