Here in Seattle, there are few times the weeds aren't growing.


Don't know why the OP is having problems killing broadleaf weeds.
I've used the same product, WeedBGone for years and it's been
very effective when mixed and used as directed. *It kills most
weeds in one application. *Some require a second application
about 2 weeks later. *I apply it with a tank sprayer.


Clover is harder to kill, but again I've used the Ortho Clover/Oxalis
killer and it's worked well.


I used Bayer Advanced All in One this year. Wow. Took out everything but the
grass. I'll swear by it, for everything including white and hop clovers, wild
strawberry, everything. *=)

Do cemetery workers prefer the graveyard shift?


I'll have to try that. I thought I was the only one with wild
strawberries
growing in my lawn. Last week I screwed up and only mixed the Ortho
WeedBGone Max at 1/3 the strength. I didn't think it would do much of
anything. I was quite surprised. It whacked just about all the
regular
broadleaf weeds and so far has had a severe impact on the crabgrass
too. It affected the strawberries and clover to some extent, but
probably
not enough to kill them.
