I have a bad clover problem here in the DC area. As much as I
hate to use chemicals, I may have to. We are planning to take
a 3 week vacation starting at the beginning of August.

Would I do damage to my grass if I sprayed a weedkiller on
right before we left, so as to minimize our exposure to it?
What is wrong with clover? What catastrophe would ensue if you
had clover in your lawn?
well, it's low growing so you don't have to mow as often, it has
flowers that the bees really love, and it doesn't brown out too badly
if it's dry & a tiny bag (half pound) of seed covers 7000 square
foot. horrible stuff, clover...

Yes but clover may increase the drag on a golf ball which may be of
import somewhere.



And those bees sting kids bare feet.


Got stung that way quite a few times as a kid, but barefoot running onto
chinese chestnuts hurt even worse!


Thistle weed and bare feet hurt even worse than chinese chestnuts
