      A most common reason for clover on lawns is dryness or poor nutrient (nitrogen) supply to the grass roots. You can kill the clover by pouring boiling water on it, and take out the dead plants later. F

      I would find one of the local fertilizer stores and ask them.  They will have more knowledge than employees at homepro/global.  If the owner is well educated he will probably speak some english too.

      These are the bugbear of my life. Roundup will knock them over but does not seem to kill the whole root system. Besides Roundup, I dig them out or pull them out by hand when the soil is wet but they k

    I will ask the wife about that as she knows most things about growing plants. The trouble is that she likes the clover and often comments on how good it looks..

    Likewise! I think the seed  has a  long dormant soil life. Most success I have  had in in twitching out  any I spot when they are small and have not spread out. Once they have it seems the smallest sucker roots left will start them off  again.

    When I pull them out by hand and the long stem root comes out there always seems to be a "snap" sound as if some of the root has broken off.

     If you can't beat them, join them. Just keep mowing it.

    The wife and her father loving planting fruit trees and vegetables and go to a lot of trouble clearing the weeds out first. But then they will not do any further weeding even when they take over. I get the impression that if weeds grow, and are green, it is good.

    This  "thing " grows so flat to the ground a mower only  massages  it!

    A different approach would be the conversion of the lawn into a flower meadow, which I would prefer. It also keeps the clover at bay.

    Very nice, BUT would never grow in Thailand! Shame as the snakes would love it! :shock1:

    anyways - go for the sprays that for the Active Constituent

     -  contains:  dimethylamine salts  (for Bindis and Clovers)

     - but does not include the usual Glycosamate ( for everything dead)

     

     the product will then Target Bindi and Clover, leaving the grasses be...
