Clover in St. Augustine

4 years ago

Clover has taken over St. Augustine in back yard in heavy oak tree shade. How can I get rid of it without making the St. Augustine sick?

You must live with it for the time being. Next April, buy a bottle of this stuff.

On the 15th of April, spray it according to the directions. Walk backwards so you don't have to shuffle through the wet poison. Always stand upwind of the drift and keep pets away for many hours until it dries well. It might take 3 weeks to kill everything, but it will kill everything except the St Augustine. The beauty with clover is that it kills the seeds, too, so you should not have to reapply.

Where do you live? Texas is a big place.
