Clover seems bad this year. 4-5 inches tall already. What do I use to get rid of it chemical wise? I've used the various weed and feeds but doesn't seem to do a thing.
look for a 3way herbicide with dicamba as an ingredient. it'll kill the clover.
something like this

this is the first spring that i own a yard.
clover and weeds have come up in patches all through the dead grass. are there products (like weed'n'feed) that i should throw down are just start trimming and cutting like normal?

i guess my answer is right above my post

see my above post. 2,4 d alone typically won't kill clover, but a mixture with dicamba will do the trick

it's a mixture with primarily 2,4 d in it
2,4 d on its own won't kill clover

Is it ok to trim my Japanese maple right now? Should I fertilize my lawn?
I don't know much about yards besides mowing.

but you may want to put out a pre emergent in March as it starts to green up.
Get the preemergent out before you start seeing greenup. You wanna inhibit spring/summer weed germination, and if you see a green grass, that means its warm enough for a lot of weeds to germinate.

sorry I meant post emergent as it starts to green up. usually 2-3 weeks after it's green
a pre emergent after it's green won't do much when the weeds are out

What kills button weed that I can get local in BR? Other than round up? Epidemic in my yard last 2 years. I will try to get a pre emergent down this weekend.

That's tough to kill, but both oxadiazon and simazine provide decent preemergent control.

if it's already out, get something like what I linked at the top of the page. look for a 3way herbicide with 2,4d, dicamba, and carfentrazone

I just pruned mine this past weekend. I think I cut it back too much.
Posted on 2/20/14 at 1:27 pm to bamafan425
I've heard good stuff about simazine for it as well

I'm noticing in my yard, a few cloves and a shitload of that wintergrass shite. No green grass other than the weeds.
So, if i go to the store now, what should i buy? 2, 4-d? Speedzone?

Cna I just 2 4 D the entire thing and be done with it? My grass cutting is going to be rather burdensome this year with the baby.
