    There are several different approaches to killing clover, and some will be based on how big your yard is and how much clover you have. There are several different herbicides you can get specifically for clover/chickweed, etc, but here are some suggestions to keep it organic, which is the better way to go in my opinion! And if you can't get rid of it, remember, bees do love clover, so you're helping us all by helping them!!!

    I would agree about leaving it for the bees because they love clover, but I also understand that everyone is not a bee love like myself. I actually raise honeybees and love the fact that they are so useful to pollinating our many fruit and vegetable trees and plants. If you absolutely hate the clover though and cannot tolerate it any longer, go to the hardware store and purchase a bottle of 2-4D. It will kill all of the clover and weeds.

    doesn't 2-4D also kill all my lawn grass at the same time as it kills the clover?Yhe point is to kill the clover but leave the grass!

    Clover is the food of bees which pollinate flowers and vegetables. If you have to get rid of it use straight ammonia - just a small amount, about 2 tablespoons per plant. Ammonia is natural. Pesticides are not. Or you could pour very hot , or boiling water on the plant stem.

    Dee Ann that would be some job as my lawn area is about three point two acres and I would hate to contemplate the number of those tiny little white clover plants there are in each acre.

    If you reread her article she stated she stored the out of season clothes and many of the tops are now in bins

    I guess that answers why this kid hardly has any clothes showing in her 'newly revamped' closet.By the way,I'm sure it will be a lot easier keeping it straight now that she hardly has any clothes.
