i agree with you there on the little girls in the clover comment but bee's wouldnt be on the clover if it had be recently mowed and the nice thing about clover is it grows very close to the ground so you can set your mower height down a notch or two and mow out the flowers and have a real smooth carpet. If your lawn is like solid clover then you should rent, borrow, or steal a rototiller and tilling it in making use of the soil building properties of clover.then bring in a bit of loam (fluffy type 1/3 compost) and then re-seed it.

most people dont have a clue about grass seed. first of all after you get " GOOD " you can pre_sprout it and then plant it and have it growing in several days... but the main thing is having the seed
in firm contact
with the topsoil
its been planted in
.... i remember how many old time lawn rollers used to be in every yard. the best time to plant it is when the moon is waxing (gaining light) from half to full especially if there's rainy weather.
