I have weeds in my grass lawn. Not an uncommon situation, I understand.

I have a few types of weeds. One type grows like — well, like weeds: quickly and tall. And unsightly. Then there's clover, which is neither tall nor, to my mind, unsightly.

I'm thinking of spreading the clover throughout my lawn in order to crowd out the other weeds. It will, I know, also crowd out my grass.

  1. Will this work? That is, will the clover crowd out the other weeds, eradicating them?
  2. Will it be self-defeating in that the clover, if so plentiful, will grow tall?
  3. Will such a large amount of clover attract many cows bees? (We're not too fond of bees.)
  4. How can I go about doing this?
