Clover
Is there an effective way of getting rid of clover on a lawn? I started with
a small amount which was OK but it has spread quite a lot. Gavin |

The message
from "gavin" contains these words: Is there an effective way of getting rid of clover on a lawn? I got rid of a lot in mine just using Levington's 'Evergreen complete', depends if you want/need to feed it as well. Otherwise try Clovertox. Mind you it is not a once and forever answer!

I don't mind if I don't get rid of it all - I'm sure those products will do the business for me. Gavin |

It's not a big deal, IMO, to have it in your lawn as long as it doesn't take over. BUT, if you do have it, stop it from flowering if you have children. Either that, or don't let the children run barefoot on the lawn because bees love clover flowers. Two out of my three got stung when they were little and so did one of my dogs. I'm cautious because I'm extremely allergic to bee stings and am one of those for whom each sting produces a more violent reaction rather than a resistance. That said, I used to keep bees! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ |

You have reminded me that was one of the reasons I tried to keep it under control when my children were small!
