Our lawn has a lot of clover growing in it, how can one get rid of it?
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

What is 2-4-D and where does one get it? How is it applied? I have a spreader, will that work?

Goats love it. Get some goats. Build a good fence. Peeker will be by the house when you are ready to sell the goats. my favorite trap is a blake n LAMB.

I have about 2 acres I mow, I could care less about the clover, but my wife wants it gone.

if its fescue, there is a product called Gordon Q4 plus herbicide. its the best and quickest to get rid of clover and other broadleaf. Has to be under 80 deg. On clover you notice them wilting the next day.

I like the clover , I try and mow 1/2 every other week so that I have constant clover and keep the bees around so they can pollinate my garden also
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Clover has taken over my lawn this year and I see a lot more in people's yards all across PA and NJ this year. Must be weather related? I also mow about two acres and don't care about the clover. My wife suggested I lower the blades a bit because the white flowers come right back in a day or two and she doesn't like them.. I did but it didn't help much. I'm not going any lower. I'll follow this thread but I'm probably not going to worry too much about the clover.
Eh...wot?

If you use 2-4D I would suggest adding some crop oil. Clover Is likes to shed chemicals.
Our lawn Is over run with clover but If It wasn't for the clover I wouldn't have a lawn So I don't care. The flowers will go away later In the season.

If it is green don't worry about it .... Let it grow.. the honey bees love it.

mostly white but the fallow areas and my hay field that isn't cut yet is probably at least 50 percent red.
