Default How do I get rid of clover?

Part of my lawn is being taken over by clover.
None of which are Four-Leaf.

Both the traditional 3 leaf and some other weed with small leaves and a
tiny yellow flower (not dandelion, much smaller).

So first, what will kill off the clover but not harm the grass?

Please and thank you.

First off its not clover but probably black medick or perhaps oxalis.


How do you know what he says is clover is not clover?


Both
will be easily treated by a 2-4-D herbacide HOWEVER oxalis is a complete
bitch to get rid of. Its because their leaves make a trough like structure
that causes the control to run off easily.


So, which is it? Easilyt treated or a bitch to get rid of?


It can be taken care of, but
requires multiple treatments. How much do you have in your lawn?
