If clover doesn't get too high, why get rid of it? It's good for the soil, cushy underfoot, and has pretty flowers. Better yet, get some of the short wildflowers and plant them also amongst the grass. I plant it deliberately.

The only way to get rid of clover is poison the whole yard, which seeps into the groundwater, and put in new grass seed or sod, or perhaps there's a select poison for clover only.

I agree too. I just bought some grass seed WITH clover. Clover is more drought tolerant, needs cutting less often and is durable. Look it up.

I totally agree with PIKKA.If you go to"wikipedia"and type in"clover"you can read the benefits of it.

White vinegar works very well and cheap too. Just a few drops of it on the clover and other weeds. It does the trick.

Why get rid of clover????? I let the clover grow in my yard, and encourage it to spread. It stays green with less water than grass, it is nicer to walk on barefoot, I love to watch the deer and rabbits eating it, it grows shorter than grass so less mowing needed, and it's fun for the grandkids to search for 4-leaf ones. What's NOT to love about clover??? A lot of the grass seed planted in lawns doesn't do nearly as well as clover, without all the needed fertilizer and other chemicals and mowing.

Clover naturally grows shorter than grass, so less mowing...which means you wallet and environment wins. Stop trying to grow lush green grass, and let clover and other naturals start to take over. The environment will thank you.!!!!!!!
