Why not leave a few patches of clover where it is thickest, it will be a

And small white clover makes quite a good green lawn in its own right,
as the picture shows: keeps shorter than grass, and roots deeper, so
it's more drought-resistant (though that looks like Wales, so you may
not be too worried about drought!). Of course it's no good at all if
it's going to get any wear.

Hi Mike,

Central Scotland, so definitely no worries about drought! It won't get any
wear (no kids/dog).

My only concern is that if I kill the clover, I'll have nothing left....
