First, I'd find your cooperative extension on the web. I spotted it once.
It's part of Rutgers, if I recall, and I seem to remember that they provide
soil analysis services for homeowners. Then, speak to someone about how to
adjust in order to deal with clover. It's been years since a had a printed
article about it, so I can't help you with more details. But, it's
definitely do-able. In any case, you have to do a soil analysis before you
keep throwing random nutrients at it.

We are in north NJ. The front lawn is zoysia grass and clover just
doesn't fit in with the look we would like. I have limed and fertilized
it but still got the clover all over.
How do you figure out the nutrient/pH imbalance and what do to?

Slow down with the weird remedies. I've read in multiple agricultural
sources that clover indicates either a nutrient imbalance or a problem
with pH. Both are easy to deal with, without using any sort of chemical
nonsense (other than lime and/or the right lawn food). Where are you
located? And, what's so bad about clover?

Hello,

Anyone know how to get rid of lots of clover from a lawn?

Also, has anyone used these books that have these home remedies for
great lawns? I've heard of using soap, etc.

Thanks.
Mike
