Is there an effective way of getting rid of clover on a lawn? I started
with
a small amount which was OK but it has spread quite a lot.

Verdone!

Thanks for the replies. I don't mind if I don't get rid of it all - I'm
sure
those products will do the business for me.

Gavin, just a quick thought re clover. It's not a big deal, IMO, to have
it
in your lawn as long as it doesn't take over. BUT, if you do have it,
stop
it from flowering if you have children. Either that, or don't let the
children run barefoot on the lawn because bees love clover flowers. Two
out
of my three got stung when they were little and so did one of my dogs.
I'm
cautious because I'm extremely allergic to bee stings and am one of those
for whom each sting produces a more violent reaction rather than a
resistance. That said, I used to keep bees!

You have reminded me that was one of the reasons I tried to keep it under
control when my children were small!

Alan
