Being out in the country and having poor soil, I welcome clovers.

I use a little dishwashing detergent as a surfactant. Lots of stuff folks are recommending don't seem to be available here in Maine. I was visiting a friend in NC and found some strong weed killer at TSC that is not available at the TSC's in Maine. I picked up some and it seems to be helping get rid of the clover and other obnoxious weeds, but not as well as I would like. It takes care of the dandelions with one spraying, but the clover takes at least 2 sprayings within 3 days. The strawberries are taking 3-4 sprayings to even put a dent in them.If you need to kill clover, you should be using a surfactant with your herbicide. Clover creates a lot of surface tension and it's difficult to get the leaves 'wet'. I use "Hum-AC 820" from Rural King,
Seems like when I was a kid, people wanted a bit of clover in their grass/yards. My wife is creating a flower garden to look pretty, smell good and to attract butterflies and humming birds. It looks really good this year, smells good, and the butterflies, bees, and humming birds are already visiting and she is not even close to being done. :thumbsup:
I feel for people who are allergic to bee stings. I don't know how anybody could avoid being stung from time to time.I fight to get rid of glover, dandelions and what looks like miniature strawberry due to their flowers. My wife is deadly allergic to bee stings so we do our best to eliminate the ground flowers to minimize the bee's in the lawn.
Us too. Seems like when I was a kid, people wanted a bit of clover in their grass/yards. My wife is creating a flower garden to look pretty, smell good and to attract butterflies and humming birds.

Unfortunately we had to mow it back when we had to cut the grass. If that whol area was clover for a ground cover it would be perfect.
Clover is taking over in the rest of the yard because the expensive grass is dying off. Go CLOVER! :laughing::laughing::laughing:

Clover and bees. Brings back memories of years gone by. As kids running around on the lawn bare footed and stepping on the white clover that the honey bees were working. The pain brought tears to our eyes back then, now I still get teary eyed................laughing about it. :laughing:
