Default clover

Clover is not an ingredient of lawn seeds~~only for fields and paddocks for
cattle or hay.
It brings problems. When only slightly damp it is treacherously slippery.
When the lawn tends to dry, and become a little brown, the clover remains
green and makes ugly patches. It does fix nitrogen from the atmosphere but
does not share this till dead.
With a relatively small area it can be raked to expose the main stem and
this can be cut off just below ground level.
If you were a green-keeper with visible clover, you would be suspended~~
at least till the rope breaks!!
Best Wishes

Hi the group. I have some questions about garden work. This is my
first house and I didn't have any gardening experience before.
I've seen a lot of clovers on my front yard. I'm afraid they will
eventully kill the grasses. I haven't yet put down the Scotts' 2nd
phase stuff (called Turf Bulder with plus 2 weed control), due to the
weather reason. But I plan to do it this wkend. On the product
description, it says it will control the white clover. Do you think it
will kill those annoying clovers? Is there any other way to get ride
of them? I'm afraid to manually remove, since it will tear up my lawn
too.
Thanks
