Are ants and clover growth in your lawn related?

0 2
I have a problem with clover growth in my lawn and also seem to have an ant problem.  Especially around my stone wall, there are many ant hills and clover plants seem to take root around them.  It has me wondering if they are related or somehow the clover grows around the ant hills because they feed off the ant fertilizer.

Both Ants and Clovers are a common problem.  However, researchers have yet to find a link between the two. So your question cannot be answered, simply because the scientists studying the problem have not come up with any usable results yet. -Birdy

The bees love the clover.............you might want to test your soil.............for the ants use some raw cormeal in a pushed down can, they eat it and can not digest it...............
