      In his defense, I suppose a certain amount of small material (including a few little rocks) would probably accumulate over time, hidden by the clover. So that part’s kind of fair, I guess.

      Just that, if you don’t need to actually mow it, then what matters it? If I had to speculate, I’d guess that he was used to a lifetime of grass lawns, felt a comfort zone there, and was always a bit uneasy about the clover lawn. And yet, didn’t feel up to arguing that with a certified Master Gardener while she was still alive.

      He’s probably had some experience with moles. They’re so small but they’ll fuck up all your landscaping. And they do bring small rocks up with their mounds sometimes.
