The bacteria is usually present to some degree in all well-established soils, but there isn't a guarantee it's a compatible strain or will work its way into the root node. If you use or have used city water or weed killers in your lawn, the reservoirs that hold the bacteria might be all gone.
>>2423556I stopped buying pure white clover once I had a scattering of established clover. Now I buy no-mow fescue or no-till cover crop meant to feed deer, which is a blend of clover, radish rye, wheatgrass, with the bulk being rye. Point is it's not just grass and keeps the dirt from shifting when it rains.
Now my biggest issue is that my mentally deficient neighbor has caretakers that dump roundup on their whole lawn which runs off into mine. Just yesterday one of the idiot orderlies sprayed shit through my fence and got it on my cucumbers. I'm hoping I cut back the splattered leaves before too much got into the plants
