Arrow clover is good

You have to think of clover as free fertilizer

and yes the little white flowers are clover flowers

for one they sustain the bees and have few
insecticides being sprayed on them

remember that with out bees ALL our food supply stops
and they are in real trouble now

two, they harvest nitrogen right of the air
and store it in these mini potatoes on their roots

so they are attracting nitrogen to the soil so when some die
they furnish nitrogen for the grass roots
i've noticed they prevent those tiny ants from making mounds too

i wish my whole yard was white with clover
then i'd have no ants.
....damn things marching down the freakin AC cord
