Hi all,

In May 2001 I had a new lawn from seed. Since then the clover has
started
to take over. What's the best method to kill the clover?

Verdone!

I've uploaded a photo of the lawn (95 Kb) at

All the areas of dark green are the clover!

All suggestions welcome (except to start again and lay turf!)

Many thanks,

Feed the poor thing!

Clover flourished in nitrate-poor soil because it can fix Nitrogen from
the
air (using bacteria in the root nodules).

Up the level of nitrates and the grass will out-perform the clover.
