Thanks
That's the info I needed.
I think it's best to attack one weed at a time?????

If the other weed is oxalis or similar, the triclopyr will kill it too.


I'll go after the clover, (maybe not the correct name, but they sure look
like shamrocks).
It is VERY hot right now...high 90's so I will take your advice and wait
till a less stressful time.
I do water my lawns religiously though.

I do spread brand name weed&feed pre-emergents in spring, but these 3 leaf
(clover) are tough little weeds.

Ireland can take them back!

Try "broad leaf weed killer" from any of the standard lawn companies.

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.



Clover is one of the more difficult plants to eliminate from lawns.
Many of the broadleaf weedkillers are not very effective, especially
the weed n feed type products.

Triclopyr works fairly well, though two applications will be necessary.
It also helps to add one of the agents to the spray mix that makes it
stick to the leaves. That's the problem with clover, the waxy leaf
makes it hard for the herbicide to adhere.

Also, don't apply herbicides during periods of high heat and stress, as
it's more likely to damage the grass.
