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 watch the deer and woodchucks eat the clover all day. I figure if I
leave the clover there, they won't eat the desirable plants

When I was a kid, we had a clover lawn (on purpose, per my dad). I didn't
understand that until later in my life, when I learned about legumes. If you're
gonna have a weed, it'd have to be clover. =)
