Well many grow clover intentionally as a garden ground cover. It adds lots of nitrogen to the soil, attracks pollinators, is low growing, and essentially maintenance free. How bad is it that it needs to be pulled? If in paths or unplanted areas just spade it up and turn it over into the soil.

Interesting - never thought about it, not really bad just me begin uptight and wanting it gone!

go for it, Don. Explore the joys of no fertilizing, no weeding, and a free living mulch keeping the soil cool. Of course, if the bed is needed for carrots the clover will have to go, but so long as you are planting toms or zucchini or any or cabbage other large plant, relax.

Yep, wow. Self-creating compost. Just till lightly and enjoy. Clover roots are shallow.

it has to be clover. Oxalis is often mistaken for it, but not really worth having.

I was going to say oxalis also! VERY difficult to get rid of! At least it's a pretty pest! I didn't get much this year cause everything was covered in cardboard til planting time. Nancy

Black Medic, Medicago lupulina, is another possibility. It is a legume and like clover it adds nitrogen to the soil.

Well oxalis foliage is fine to dig in. But scraping the foliage off with a hoe will leave the roots. Of course, just pulling oxalis foliage off doesn't get rid of it either. If it's oxalis, and you want to remove it, you really need to dig it up.

A picture would settle the id once and for all.
