Default How do I get rid of clover?

If it's as easy to kill clover as any broadleaf weed, then why do
companies like Ortho market products specifically for clover, and other
tough weeds, which contain triclopyr, as opposed to their regular
broadleaf herbicide, like Weed B Gone?

That's a silly argument. Ask Ortho.

No its not silly actually. The physical nature of clover and clover like
weeds make it hard to kill since the weed control tends to roll off the
leaves.


I use a little mild detergent, such as Woolite, to give the herbicide a
little " bite" on hard to wet weeds.
