Lawn Care Question

[IdaH.O.Train]

Can someone please tell me the best, most effective way to get rid of clover in my lawn. I have tried the Weed-n-Feed; however, the clover remains.

Get a goat.

A hand pump sprayer and some 2,4D from the hardware store will get it. Weed n Feed should of also since it's just fertilizer mixed with 2,4D. With weed n feed you need to follow the instructions closely for good results. I personally don't mind clover in my lawns, it fixes nitrogen from the air to feed the soil.

And illegal drugs don't count either

A GOAT?????



My son and his boys got our Daughter in Law, a pigmy goat for her birthday as a gag. We all thought it real funny--for the first couple weeks.

What a pain (they live next door--about 500 feet away), and that goat is into/onto everything--especially my wifes flowers. And a pigmy goat standing on the hood is not my idea of a Ram ornament. I am trying to figure an innocent way to disapear her. Actually, she was stolen a few months ago and we were so happy; then someone told my son who had her and he, disgustingly, went and brought her back-Darn.

Stop watering it. Lawn will dry up and turn brown. No more clover.

As a side benefit, you dont have to mow it as often after doing this either.

Now would be a good time to concider concrete. It waters well and you can clean it with just about anything and you won't kill it. It's also great to park on. If you want it green, just paint it. In fact, you can paint any color you want.

But you will need to go to home depo and get their special "concrete" blade for your mower.

If you use 2-4D, or most weed killers, make sure you add a surfactant, otherwise it will just bead off the weeds and you won't get any results. A few drops of plain liquid soap will work also.
