The clover in the yard can be uprooted with these techniques to make the grass grow neatly.

Today, my flower friend asked: There are always some white flowers on my lawn, and weeds with three leaves are all over the place.

Its roots are staggered and complex in the long grass part, it seems that no matter how I pull it out, it will not die, and come at this time of the year, how to eliminate it, and keep the grass intact?

Many flower friends should have seen this plant, it is very similar to lucky grass, also three leaves, but the flowers are different.

It sent this white clover called "alfalfa", belonging to a kind of sorrel (call it lucky grass also line).

Sometimes this clover will be particularly rampant, a long is a large area, which is related to its seed dissemination.

This grass root is very shallow and is an annual. To eliminate it, it must be uprooted, but prevention work is well done and it will not appear again next year.

Prevention work is to use corn protein in early spring and autumn, or corn protein-containing fertilizer (sold in produce stores, usually as feed), corn protein powder can effectively inhibit the radicle growth of plant seed germination, thus inhibiting weed reproduction.

In fact, many garden flower friends should know about corn protein powder-the nemesis of weeds. In addition, annual supplementary application of grass seeds can also be eliminated.

In addition, strictly speaking, clover is not an absolute weed, because the general grass species contain certain components of clover, because it is easy to grow, strong regulation. So if the clover in the lawn does not exceed 20%, you can not deal with it.

Clover appears on the lawn, mainly because the nitrogen fertilizer of the lawn is insufficient, so to prevent it, sufficient nitrogen fertilizer must be applied at ordinary times.

In addition, clover has its advantages. It turns out that clover belongs to leguminous plants and has special ability to produce nitrogen fertilizer and store nitrogen fertilizer in soil. So you can plant clover in your garden at ordinary times and plant vegetables a few months later. It's a good organic crop.

As mentioned earlier, clover root shallow, hand in addition is not difficult. But root it out. Another method is to remove weeds by hand or with a hard metal rake, then sprinkle compost soil or culture soil (preferably purchased without weed seeds) on the weedy ground, and then sprinkle grass seeds so that the new grass will cover the weeds. (It doesn't matter if it's not clean.)

Therefore, applying grass seeds every year is also a way to eliminate clover. However, when selecting grass seeds, it is necessary to select grass seeds with more perennial grass seeds.

Also, don't cut the grass too short. Cut too short not easy to retain moisture and moisture, grass easy to dry, easy to grow weeds, especially shallow roots of weeds.

Clover has been used as food in many places. It can be blanched in hot water and mixed cold. It tastes excellent.
