Clover

[Mike]

Hello,

Anyone know how to get rid of lots of clover from a lawn?

Also, has anyone used these books that have these home remedies for great
lawns? I've heard of using soap, etc.

Thanks.
Mike

Slow down with the weird remedies. I've read in multiple agricultural
sources that clover indicates either a nutrient imbalance or a problem with
pH. Both are easy to deal with, without using any sort of chemical nonsense
(other than lime and/or the right lawn food). Where are you located? And,
what's so bad about clover?

Weed b gone liquid, 1.5 ounces per gallon of water. Don't do it if it's
above 82-88 degrees, or if it's gonna rain within 12-24 hours.

We are in north NJ. The front lawn is zoysia grass and clover just doesn't
fit in with the look we would like. I have limed and fertilized it but
still got the clover all over. :)
How do you figure out the nutrient/pH imbalance and what do to?

Check your PH value. It is likely acid based which lime will correct
and also minimize the clover.

First, I'd find your cooperative extension on the web. I spotted it once.
It's part of Rutgers, if I recall, and I seem to remember that they provide
soil analysis services for homeowners. Then, speak to someone about how to
adjust in order to deal with clover. It's been years since a had a printed
article about it, so I can't help you with more details. But, it's
definitely do-able. In any case, you have to do a soil analysis before you
keep throwing random nutrients at it.
