When is best time to spray lawns for clover?
"Chookie" wrote in message ... In article , "SG1" wrote: It took me 7 years to completely eradicate clover from a place I previously lived in. Spraying with Clover & Bindi killer for about 5 years then pulling out the odd one that came up after that. It is a lifelong obsession (or profession) getting on top of the old clover burr. Are we talking about clover, the nitrogen-fixing legume, or some other plant? Sounds like you are talking about two different plants. The only good reason I can think of to remove clover is to have less bees on the lawn when you have barefoot people around. If you sprinkle clover liberally with sulphate of ammonia it will die of nitrogen poisoning. -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) "Life is like a cigarette -- smoke it to the butt." -- Harvie Krumpet The local variety flowers and the seed pod is a burr. It is a nitrogen fixing legume, can see the nodules when pulled out. The burr is the only reason to kill it. The non-burr clover looks and feels the same except the seed pod. Jim |
