Default Kill Clover!

Look for chick weed or Clover killer at any Home Depot. I've been attacking
it in spots with a liquid version with great success.
Clover (at least for me) has been a sign of bad soil.

Hi,

The clover is flourishing in my yard, particularly backyard. I used
to be able to control them with Scott Plus 2 (early spring and late
fall). However, this time it did not seem work. I also sprayed

with
those 1 gallon B-Gon (sp?) and it made the clover cover yellowish,

but
not dead.

Is there anything I can buy that will kill that weed? Or I'd better
call some landscapers?

I am in Maryland, BTW.

Funny about clover. About 50 years ago, clover was purposely added

to
lawns. It spread easly, was green, and looked fine. I can remember my

Dad
agonizing about how much white clover to add to the grass seed he was
buying. Then we invented broad-leaf weed killers, and clover was

killed.
Now we think of clover as an evil weed.



I have a nice lawn with plenty of clover. I choose to let it thrive.
Clover is a weed I can live with.


Of course, it kind of trashes the look of a perfectly manicured fescue or
bermuda lawn...
