How do I get rid of clover in a garden and not hurt my flowers?

My experience is anything you put out to kill the clover will also damage the plants around the clover. The only solution is pulling the clover, you need to get the roots also. Once this is accomplished a good layer of mulch 2-4" should discourage the "weeds" from coming back. I like to put a layer of newspaper under the mulch to help even more, usually 4-8 sheets thick.





Good luck!

I wouldn't do that. It attracts the bees.
Reply:Easy -- buy a sheep which hates clover
Reply:Pull them, leave no root behind.
Reply:is it essential? I think clover are pretty. The only thing I can think of is starting again from fresh with seed.
