Default How do I get rid of clover?

In fact many years ago clover was considered
a good thing in lawns.


Most weeds are, in a way, a good thing in lawns. Clover's a legume, it adds
nitrogen to the soil. Most turf weeds are annuals, and break down at the
end of the season, leaving behind more nutrients. Weeds are just an
indicator that something is wrong with the soil. Treating the weeds is a
bandaid. Fixing the soil problems is the cure. It's like setting out spring
traps for moles, while the grubs eat your lawn from below.
