- In this video I explain how to kill clover in your lawn the cheap way by using ortho weed b gone clover chickweed and oxalis weed killer. I just have a few areas of clover in the lawn so spot spraying is the best method and you can do this with a tank sprayer like the Chapin I am using or with a hose end sprayer as well.

Hi Ryan! How do you like that backpack sprayer? Be looking at it and can't decide on all the LCN hype. Thanks, Nebraska Guy
So far I love it. The consistency of output since it's a constant stream without having to pump anything is amazing. If you do decide to grab one, I'd greatly appreciate purchasing from my link. I get a small commission to help fund all my crazy lawn projects! amzn.to/2taNrGF
The chapin is great and is on super sale right now. Buy it!

I was just going to ask this. I am new to the back yard obsession and got a ton of weeds! I can’t wait to try this out. Thanks for the posts.
I need to put that on my Christmas list for sure lol
I just LOVE your videos! You are so helpful and have a very warm and friendly nature. Thanks so much Ryan!
Hey Ryan, HUGE fan of yours. I tried this exact thing (after watching this video) on some creeping charlie along my foundation line. after 24 hours I can totally see it is working. Thanks for posting this video bud !
I have the same sprayer (LOVE IT) and I put it on a stream spray (aftermarket spray head), then I use the machine to mix it.
Thank you!!!!
Keep up the good work.
Thanks dude! Nice lawn!
Good Job, thanks for the info.!!!!
Thanks Ryan, I spread my lawn once and it needs it again. I will try the Weed B Gon. Thanks for the video!!
Clover can be a pain in the butt to get rid of so sometimes a few apps are needed.
Still in Junuary weather here, below 70 all week, next week promises warmer temps......finally.
Your place is looking awesome!
I would gladly take some cool weather. Heat index will be 105 on Saturday
Another great video Ryan
Just picked up this product, hopefully I will see a difference here next week!
I definitely have a clover issue down in Tennessee... just waiting for cooler temps and I’ll be spraying a ton
Thanks for the info. I used it and all the clover and some other weeds are gone.
I live in georga and find using these weed b gon products that I always getting a little yellowing on my bermuda lawn in my humid/ hot climate(could also be I get a little heavy handed lol).I will be buying a bottle of celcius. It was designed to not burn lawns.Its a little pricey but a bottle goes a long ways, especially if you have a small lawn.I heard nothing but good things about its potency
Wish I had enough money to buy one of those sweet back pack sprayers, but I had to buy a new lawnmower the other day. It's raining alot here in CO, so just waiting for the chance to try out my new toy. Love your videos Ryan
I used this last year 2018 2 apps . Now 2019 of course it all came back! I am going to use it again. Thanks for the info.
Clover is a continuous battle for me
@@ryanknorrlawncarey you are treating the wrong thing. Start working on your soil.
I got some ares of mean clover... I’ll give it a try
For Creeping Charlie I use 20muleteam borax laundry soap from the grocery store 1 1/2 cups for 2 gallons of water.
It doesn't dissolve in water but is suspended so the container has to be shaken occasionally.
Works very well but sometimes a second application is needed later on.
Hello Ryan. I’ve actually manually dug up some clover.....and the root is HUGE....taking up a lot of “soil space” that grass could be growing from!! Will weed killer get rid of these long substantial roots so the grass roots can use that space? Love your videos and really respect your expert advice. Teddy UK.
Going to give it a try. Thanks
Great video! I have a few patches of clover myself that I'll be working on. Any advise to get rid of quack grass during this time of summer? I have a small patch about 1ftx1ft, it's driving me nuts lol..
Believe a little dish soap works as a surfactant. Just make sure to add it after the water or you will end up with a foamy mess, lol. Nice looking lawn! Unfortunately, I've got 2.5 acres to battle with...
I've had very good luck with this product. I just use the gallon container it comes in with the battery sprayer. I spot treat only and had to reapply in some areas. I have an acre and it was a mess but this worked in just a few days. I'm almost done with my second gallon. .
I'll never use granulars again. I always burn areas.
You can also use dish soap as a surfactant.
Lamar Eagerton just make sure it isn’t the anti bacterial type
You can, but MSO as a surfactant works better, sometimes much better depending upon what you are spraying.
I used the same stuff for the creeping charlie but mixed it only slightly stronger and it worked well
Awesome!
Ryan, I found a product that works very well on Clover, Ground Ivy and other weeds. It’s a product from Bonide called Weed Beater Ultra. I had a Clover and Ground Ivy problem, used the same thing you used in this video and was not happy with results.
I used the above mentioned product and it’s the only product I will use from now on to manage weeds on my lawn.
Good to know. I'll keep that one in mind
Thanks for the suggestion. Use this Weed-B-Gon before and didn't get great results as I recall. Just got it to do again. But I think I'll get the bonide, and do that one in Fall / October. And see how that does. Not sure if the active ingredients are the same. Should look that up
Will it kill english ivy? That stuff is tough!
You can use baby shampoo for a surfactant as well.
Hi Ryan. Thanks for all the informational videos. Any suggestions about non-chemical ways to get rid of clover? Thanks!
Mix one cup of vinegar with a cup of water and one drop of dish soap. Shake it up and spray it onto any patches of clover. The vinegar will dry out the clover's leaves, and the dish soap will make sure it sticks. You may need to spray over a series of weeks to kill off the clover completely.
Thank you.
Nice job! Some great tips. Looking forward to seeing the transitions.
Don't forget to spray again in September according to some of the other people I've listened to on here. Also I used just that stuff.
Next depending upon what your weeds look like I've learned you need to get Prodiamine and use it twice a year. Bare areas and heat weaken it. Also get you some Blue or some other colors Lazer Dye.
Then you know exactly where you are spraying.
Hey Ryan, I'd get on the creeping Charlie asap. I inherited it from the people that used to own my home, it was bad. Last year I hit it 2x in a 6 week period with 2-4D and dicamba, and it worked on the newer growth, but the heavy established growth basically laughed at me. The best approach I found was to get on my hands and knees and literally dig it out. It's painstakingly slow, but the results were amazing. My wife actually became obsessed with ridding the turf of it! How cool is that!?? What we had afterwards was a VERY sparse turf and many bare spots. Once mid August rolled around I basically renovated the entire front turf (with tips from you and LCN) and the lawn in September was amazing!! Lots of comments from neighbors and passerby's etc. Fast fwd to this past spring, and no more Charlie!! Just nice dense turf! Sorry for the long winded story, but it was a good one, lol. Also, thanks for the uploads, your lawn looks amazing! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for sharing! I'm on it right now and I have a field next door so it's always going to be a problem but somehow it survived in my thick as carpet bluegrass but it's not super thick yet. I'm going to try to get ahead of it now and see what happens.
Before the invention of broadleaf weed killer grass seed mixtures included clover.
i enjoyed your videos and i need a little help, what's the best weed killer for yellow wood sorrel weed?
Gotta looks be the old school sprinkler sound in the background 👍🏼
That impact was working away
The green mower in the back ground a powered reel mower?
Great video and your PPE is correct according to the manufacturer.
That's the Greenworks Dethatcher
I have a massive infestation of wild violets and I just used this product yesterday to try to get rid of those so hope it works out for me.
Just ordered 25lb fescue/bluegrass from you. It’s coming this Saturday, so I’ll be overseeding my grass with it soon.
Great video, this helps a lot because I have clover in my yard 👍👍👍👍👍👍
@Ryan Knorr Lawn Care I used the scotts version of this (added surfactant) and it really thinned out my lawn in those areas I sprayed , did I just go too heavy?
Great video as always!
I use Spectricide premixed lawn weed killer in a gal jug with the supplied sprayer and add a couple of cap fulls of generic baby shampoo, and spot spray my weeds and clover. Works great and my yard has never looked so weed free.
Bauer weed killer in a small pump sprayer has worked for years for me.
Ryan, I appreciated this video. I wish that you would have stated the temperature at the time which you decided that it was safe to spray. I am aware that 90 degrees and above are too hot. I do not have a handle on when it is cool enough to apply the clover killer. So I have been timid about using a broadleaf killer spray and my lawn is being overrun with what I consider to be weeds.
We are almost to fall time when it is the best time to spray them anyway. So as things cool down a bit that's the perfect time or spray them late evening when it will have all of the overnight to sit on there.
Hi Ryan. Thanks for all you do. I've searched online but cannot find anything about mixing 2 different weed be gon products. Can I mix Weed B Gon plus Crabgrass Control with Weed B Gon CCO in the same Gallon sprayer? If so, any idea on ratio?
Hi Ryan, got a quick question about mowing after applying a lawn weed killer. I applied Tenacity for spots of Nimble Weed. How long should wait to mow? Thanks
Hey Ryan, my lawn is weed riddled. Any idea what might be the best post emergent weed killer for multiple weeds. If this does not work I might have to go with tenacity
Hi Ryan, any idea what I could use to spot spray some curly doc that is popping up in my back yard?
I've been using the same product to battle Creeping Charlie.. Mixed it with regular weed b gone as well. Used a surfactant too. Takes a few applications and determination! Seems sometimes like the herbicide is doing nothing, then get a good rain and poof it is shrunk or disappeared. Look forward to your results.
Good to know. I have just begun the battle with creeping charlie so we'll see how it goes.
I use Trimec 992. It works well on clover and just about all other weeds except for the grassy ones.
Hi Ryan, what was the verdict on this product? I can't find your update on it. Thanks!
Hi Ryan, I am not sure what grass type i have. Can this application be used on all grass types. Thanks.
Hi Ryan. I have a centipede lawn which is getting full of lespedeza. Do you know if the product you're using will work on it? I plan to go to war this Fall and continue as long as it takes until it's gone.
Ryan what do you use for Thistle?
Ortho did not kill my clover in the deep south. Tried it twice and I am an experienced gardner.
Hello, I've been getting alot of foxtail weeds in my back lawn. Anything that can be sprayed for that and not hurt my lawn that you know of?
Hey Ryan how long should y waight after y put tenacity on Kentucky blue grass
You have beautiful grass
When are you watering,and what have you added to lawn in form of food
Kill? I planted.... Lol, I have a lazy mans lawn but I'm enjoying your quest for perfection! Cheers on the videos.
Chris Gerow Lots of folks planting the micro-clover here, not many blooms and some summer colour.
I went with a standard white. I had patchy grass in heavy shade areas in the back and brown grass in the front during dry summers.
The clover did a great job filling the shady gaps and staying green the dry.
Also I was encouraged by clover's nitrogen fixing properties. Which I think has thickened the grass as well.
Chris Gerow That sounds very good!
Here people sell mixed creeping red fescue, which does fairly good in shade, and the clover, because the winter here is often not very cold the fescue looks good fall, winter and early spring and when the water restrictions kick in the clover does great!
T-zone is the only thing I have been able to kill Creeping Charlie with that doesn't kill the grass. Expensive but effective. Needs to be applied when it is flowering.
BORAX 20 Mule Team will do the same thing for CHEAPER.
@@petmycat2720 The stuff for washing clothes? How do you use it?
@@bodeine454 Use it diluted with water and spray it on with a 2 gallon pump sprayer ...works very well and will not will grass. learned this from my grandpa in the 60s.
how long do I have to wait after this application for reseeding?
Hi Ryan, Does this work for Common Lespedeza (Japanese clover)? If not can you please suggest which product best works for it.
Thank you so much Ryan...great video....love it.
I have HUGE chickweed issue....I think it will help.
Glad to help
when is the best time apply application? fall or spring? I live in the northeast. Thanks
Could I use ortho weed b gone and tinacity in a mix to blanket spray. Front yard is covered in weeds trying to kill before reseed in September
Hi Ryan, would combination like this be safe if it's close to an above ground vegetable garden?
No dye? Discovering dye and surfactant last year was a game-changer for me.
What kind of dye?
I use a blue dye when spraying herbicide. Let’s me see what I’ve sprayed
I planted seed it’s been about 3 weeks now, grass is sprouting an growing. Is it to early to spray the yard/new seed with a weed killer?
Can I use this on my Bahai grass?
What about crossbow or tenacity? I have tried it on my yard for crossbow and as long as your grass is healthy then your good as a spot treatment.
Love the video. I jave some sizeable clover patches as well. Can't spray as it's supposed to be 102 on Sunday. Not good!!!
I know! This heat can stay away and I would be fine with that.
I can agree
So may ask where you are located I'm from northern Indiana what are the best temps to spray at I went to lawn company in bluffton Indiana and found that t zone you talk about
Great video as usual but I will say that that exact ortho WBG hasn’t worked for any of the violet I have. It wilts the clover just enough but the violet prevails. Heard the only thing for violet is Turf-Lon.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing your results
I appreciated reviewing this post of yours on spraying for Clover et al.
Your work is very helpful and clear.Thanks for the strong Post.
Hi. How soon can i plant grass seed after spraying weed be gone ?
Can i spray during seeding 1-2 weeks in? I used scotts triple action starter weed and feed. Im noticing clover growth.
I just moved to Pensacola Florida what type of grass seed do you recommend
Would you use this on Yellow Woodsorrel?
Hey thanks so much for the videos I’ve seen most of your videos and they are all good! My question is I want to get rid of clover but FOUR WEEKS AGO I heavily overseeded a one year old lawn with many bare spots and I want to get rid of the clover but I still have a lot of new sprouts and some seeds that still haven’t sprouted is they’re anything I can use on four week old seed that’s an inch or two tall?
I have EXACTLY the same situation Catherine!! Some seeds haven’t even sprouted yet. I certainly don’t want to kill my new grass shoots that took me ages to spread the seed and get to grow!! No one has answered our very important question yet???
Should I mow first before applying those products?
how long after you spray the herbicide can you overseed?
What is the mix per gallon for the ortho with surfactant
good video
I applied Scott's turf builder with weed and crabgrass killer in early April (Kentucky). I have some clover that is still going strong. Is it ok to spot spray this now? I know that the bag said not to reapply the 2-4D for at least 4 months.
Hi Ryan would weed be gone work on European Clover?
Can you use that product on bermuda lawns?
Ryan, how about that Vikings draft over the weekend?
I hope you appreciate that I fell asleep during a 50 minute ad on leaky gut..lol😂
hahaha
Any tips? 🤣
Shitty
Have you ever used Crossbow for clover and other broadleaf? Its a Southern Ag product. I found it works really great on broadleaf varieties (much better than Ortho or Roundup which usually take multiple applications) but I've never used it on CC.
I have heard of it but haven't tried it. I might check it out for the creeping charlie.
Would you still recommend this today? What if I was looking at yarrow, black medic, and clover?
I live in Minnesota too. I’m letting dandelions and clover in. I’m through with cancer causing chemicals. The chemicals smell so bad in the spring. I’ll just fertilize my lawn on June 1st and in September or October winterizer.
Is there a product where you don't need a sprayer? Like one that comes in a spray bottle form?
Great video...I didn't see if you planned to use the newly mixed product or something else for the Creeping Charlie???
I'm trying this first on the creeping charlie but will likely have to wait for fall to really get after it.
Would this help with wild strawberry too?
I have clovers in my yard spreading to my garden (that has no grass, and mulch). Will this kill the flowers I’m trying to grow?
Do you use anything else since? I just ordered ortho clover killer thank you Ryan hope you & your Family have a Merry Christmas🎄🎄🎄
I have not. It worked on clover but not as much on creeping charlie. I'll be battling that a bit more this year.
Hi Ryan, enjoy your videos. I live in Northern Va, and have a lot of clover in our yard. When can I over seed after spraying? Is there an anti-clover product that allows faster seeding? A Scott product I viewed said need to wait about 6 weeks. Thanks
Something that is a little stronger and works well is Speedzone. I believe it's 4 weeks though if I remember correctly.
How long after new seed germinates can I use this?
