Oh I forgot spray every couple of weeks from now until the warmth arrives.

Just saw the other thread on bindies which reminded me....

When is the best time to best for clover? - I did it selectively about a
month ago and it didn't seem to make much difference.

The clover is going gangbusters now, and I'd really like to get rid of it!

I have Sir Walter buffalo and use a spray which claims to not kill
buffalo,
but also says it needs more than one application to kill clover... so I
guess I need to do it again, but the bottle doesn't say how long to wait
between applications! (Sorry I don't have the name of the brand with me at
the moment... which isn't realy helpful I know!)

I've spent tens of hours trying to dig the clover out, but it just keeps
coming back.... is there anything I can do?

Thanks,
Dave.

Thanks Jim - what product do you use and do you only spray it on the clover
you can see or do you basically spray the whole lawn?

Thanks,
Dave.

Thanks - that sounds like the stuff I've got as well - I'll give it another
go!

Just be careful with it. I have seen the same named product (but maybe a
different brand) and it had a warning for buffalo as to either apply once a
year only, no more, or at half rate or both.
One of the many downfalls (that I see anyway) of owning buffalo, sorry, just
my opinion.
Follow directions as suggested is best advice. On top of that I've noticed
that when spraying with a broadleaf killer, using a drench option is much
more effective. I was spraying with not a high success rate. Then I noticed
one brand (Hortico) suggested application with a "hortico sprinkle bar". Not
having one, nor knowing what it was I decided a watering can would be
similar. I walked at a semi fast pace using a watering can to water the lawn
with broadleaf killer mix. Best kill rate ever. At work we now use coarser
spray nozzles, with lower pressures for same effect with better kill rates.
Of course you have to take into accont roots of surrounding plants, and
runoff, and possibly the fact you have buffalo, but on couch it works great.

Good luck

Thanks Andrew - I think I'll need the luck.

I'll give the drenching method a go on one part of the lawn and the sulfate
of ammonia on another... what could possibly go wrong!

Only thing could go wrong is possible overdosing of buffalo from drenching.
But if the instructions are followed with rates, then it should be ok.

I sprayed my lawn with Bin-Die a couple of weeks ago and the clover
(which I don't mind as it is green and soft) is dying whereas the
bindis at best look a little sad! Oh well another spray this week.

The really annoying thing is that for nearly 20 years never had a
bindi in the garden and I suspect it was due to the fact that I let
the grass grow really long. Now I am older and mow more regularly they
seem to have flourished in patches
