I have a lawn care question. I live in the central San Joaquin valley of California. Zone is 9b. My yard is Bermuda grass.

I would like to find something that is effective at killing clover in Bermuda grass. I’ve controlled it using Scott’s Weed-b-gone and Weed-&-Feed, which are both 24D... but they’re not particularly effective. They just slow it down.

I’ve heard of other products that are supposed to do better, but I’ve never been able to find the brand names and where I can purchase.

Any helpful advice would be appreciated.

I hope that someone here can help you. We don’t do anything with our yard, except mow it. Dandelions are pretty and a good source of vitamin C. Clover is great fertilizer and doesn’t ever get too tall.

With respect to our yard - it has to make do with mother nature. If we plant it and it doesn’t survive, we just plant something else. Our vacant lot has oodles of wildflowers, and we just let that go till the bloom period is over. Many of those plants are edible or medicinal, though we don’t at this point take advantage of that.

One of my main reasons for gardening is to raise food that I know has not been exposed to pesticides, or at least if an organic compound is used, I know what it is and how much.

Because of that, my knowledge with respect to what you ask is practically nil. I am sorry that I don’t know more to help you.

Sorry for the HUGE linky.. lotsa results. I’m primarily a landscape gardener except for a pot of basil, parsley, rosemary and tomatoes. NO thyme, NO sage. Not much time either lol.

Ask my sister or her husband who grow grapes just south of Fresno or do you want me to ask them…
