White-tailed deer sure do love a good food topper of glyphosate and clethodium…yum yum

In Morocco we plant clover for winter feed for cows but ours is much taller than this one in the video it gests as high as 80 cm we chop it 4 times at least during one season
thank you

Just some thought if your that worried about the spray you shouldn't put it on your foods food I personally spray once with round up in the fall and it's dirt in the spring we also have snow for 4 months in the winter I'm sure that plays a part in them dieing completely off the big weed around here is golden rod I will go around in June or July with a little spray bottle and hit whatever comes back up and if it's a calm day you will only kill what your trying to spray, we also don't have as much easy access to good sprays in Ontario a farmer has to get it but they always have round up

We have chickory in our clover plots, I’m guessing the broadleaf spray will kill it? The link for the broadleaf spray is bad.

Often those "weeds" are at least as nutritious as the clover. People use clover mostly because it is popular and it builds soil fertility. If you start with rich soil, you have more options.

I'm doing a clover lawn here in Dallas. Is that weird? I do it because it is a pollinator. I like to see nature everyday when I look outside. I'm also going crazy with hand picking out broadleaf and grasses... 😭 Really want to just see clovers. Do you think I should use crop oil still if I only have 2500sqft of lawn? Thank you

I mixed 1.25 oz to gallon of clethodium with 1.5 oz of surfactant. Used a 3 gallon pump sprayer for spot treatment. Hope I didn't overdo the herbicides and surfactant.

I would recommend safety glasses n gloves at the very least when using chemicals.

What clover seeds did you use to get a 6 year life span out of it?

How many ounces per gallon? Most people don’t have 3 acre clover plots we have small Clover kill plots that are way way less than an acre.

I hate that most all sprays go by ounces per acre.… It should always be ounces per gallon it’s so much easier that way.

Will this hurt brassicas or radishes? Curious if could use on my plot which has these will clover

[hankgoodwin]

People should plant more clover not kill it out

[p.b.sHUNTING]

Use crop oil….instead of surfactant. They are different

How many gallon spray is that? I am trying to figure out if a 25gal is big enough for a 3acre plot
