Default When is best time to spray lawns for clover?

Thanks - that sounds like the stuff I've got as well - I'll give it

Ciao,

Just be careful with it. I have seen the same named product (but maybe a
different brand) and it had a warning for buffalo as to either apply once a
year only, no more, or at half rate or both.
One of the many downfalls (that I see anyway) of owning buffalo, sorry, just
my opinion.
Follow directions as suggested is best advice. On top of that I've noticed
that when spraying with a broadleaf killer, using a drench option is much
more effective. I was spraying with not a high success rate. Then I noticed
one brand (Hortico) suggested application with a "hortico sprinkle bar". Not
having one, nor knowing what it was I decided a watering can would be
similar. I walked at a semi fast pace using a watering can to water the lawn
with broadleaf killer mix. Best kill rate ever. At work we now use coarser
spray nozzles, with lower pressures for same effect with better kill rates.
Of course you have to take into accont roots of surrounding plants, and
runoff, and possibly the fact you have buffalo, but on couch it works great.

Good luck
