"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? "

Another fine example that demostrates Doug's ignorance about lawn care.
He thinks any lawn problem can be easily solved without using
chemicals. In fact, clover grows quite nicely in exactly the same soil
nutrient conditions and PH ranges that lawn grasses do. You can fiddle
with nutrients and PH till the cows come home and the clover will still
be there.

Clover is actually beneficial to the lawn, as clover puts nitrogen into
the soil. However if you don't like the look, you can fix it quite
simply with an application of any of the broadleaf weed killers. It
should not be done in very hot weather though.
