I know I’m getting old when instead of action movies, video games, chasing girls, I’m genuinely excited and interested in lawn care maintenance over everything else I could be doing on my day off lol
I understand 100%.
I'm right here with you
Same same
3:21 Talks about clover removal
Oh, glad you cleared that up! When the Scott's company found a way to eliminate clover from their grass seed formula, they had to convince the public that clover was bad for lawns. So by the 1960's, after an aggressive ad campaign, people identified clover as a weed. Knowledgeable gardeners know, however, that though a clover free lawn may look pretty, clover is actually beneficial, and much easier to maintain.
once again, I don't care if it's beneficial... it's an eyesore. And I've never called myself a "gardener" - I'm a lawn care nut - meaning I like a pristine, weed free lawn. That's what this channel is about. If you don't like or appreciate that, there are tons of great gardening channels you can watch and you can call them names if you like. Or, what I really recommend you do, is make your own vids, telling the world how great a lawn full of clover actually is - I'll be your first subscriber and I'll be respectful enough not to call you names.
+The Lawn Care Nut Fair enough.
I love seeing clover in the lawn and all the bees that can benefit from it!
I don’t care that much for the clover, but I do think of the bees. Don’t seem to see near as many as I did growing up.
Then again, I am not playing in the yard as much either. I am outside a lot. It does seem to be a lot less bees than years past.
Carpenter bees I am not so sure about.
I was thinking this would be a useless information video but being a farmer I'm very impressed with the way you explained this in basic terms. well done😀
Bit long drawed but agree theres some good info in there
I have a nice lawn and I actually purchase clover to seed my lawn with and the white dutch clover looks good to me and the farmers/Bee's love it. I thought clover was a flower anyway. I know bee population needs help. I only spot spray weeds. Works for me. Thank you for the tips from your videos.
Rickey Williams it’s also medicine
I seed microclover _with_ grass for my lawn. It looks beautiful!
I am planning to do the same. It's tough to find the seed for a reasonable price.
Actually, it is tough to find the seed at all. My local turf supply store says it is impossible to get this year.
Another good home based surfactant is Dawn dishwashing liquid. It cuts thru some of the oils that some broad leaved weeds have for protecting the leaves from our herbicides. This oil can also slow evapotranspiration on hot days. Both the shampoo and Dawn make a good herbicide work much better.
Upthumbed only for the advice and execution of sprayer use and chemistry logic, but I'll use that to deal with every other thing except clover. I've got a patch that goes to flower almost every week, while surrounding grass is still not so high as to need mowing 2.5" or so. Point is it's helpful to support bees, goes along with other pollinator-friendly plants I've got going here. Plus it looks great, and the mowed-off leaves are a huge nitrogen additive to the whole lawn.
I actually plant clover in my backyard for the dogs. I have two Golden Retrievers and their urine kills my backyard grass instantly, so I noticed that the clover is unaffected and I researched it and decided to plant more clover. I reseeded the grass and applied clover to the bare spots, covered with peat moss lightly and watered twice a day for 2 weeks. The grass and clover both came in and the clover filled in the former dead spots and there isn't any more bare soil. My goal was to have a nice green place for the dogs to play and do their business and this worked for me. The clover looks nice after a 4' mowing and it feels soft when walked on. We have a sidewalk that supports most foot traffic but the dogs run all over and their urine doesn't seem to affect the white clover I planted. At $11 a pound, it wasn't expensive as 1lb goes a long way (1200 sq ft back yard)...
Fix.....don't let dogs urinate on your lawn!! Very unhygienic and you can't enjoy your lawn, walking dog pee into the house.....touching the grass with your hands. If you have to let the dogs use your lawn as their toilet......segregate just one area they can use......Gross!!
This flowed like an episode of "Burn Notice."

2) Miami Tourism video
3) Main program
I've just planted white and red clover in my yard, along with centipede, bermuda & zoysia. Something is bound to grow, heh.
Actually, although they're young, they all seem to be starting out strong.
Love the videos, they're very informative and entertaining, I'm glad I stumbled across your channel.
+swayteca They are so full of useless information and annoying music. I just want the information, not an entertainment video. Glad you enjoy all the superfluous info.
My wife rolls her eyes everytime I watch one of your videos, lol
Mine too hahaha but she likes the nice lawn!
Youre not alone.
Okay, so I was wondering when you were going to start talking about the lawn lol. However, I must admit it was very informative once you started your intro.
You can stick the hose end down in the solution and that will prevent most of the bubbles from forming. I love your channel!!!
I'm actually seeding clover in my yard this year. It's a natural nitrogen-fixing plant and will help your lawn keep out the nastier weeds.
finally, someone with a modicum of common sense!!!!! this man's lawn is horrifyingly barren and empty! a hallmark of the damage down by widespread chemical pesticide use! If you want a clover with some pizzaz look for crimson clover seeds. They're frequently sold in seed mixes for sprouting. The flowers are a brilliant crimson red! its the most beautiful color I've ever seen on a clover! I suggest finding a spot to put a few pots of zinnias while you're at it, they're very low maintenance and come in a variety of sizes and colors. I'm trying out Peppermint Stick and Sombrero this year but usually I use "cut and come again", "dwarf pumilla" and "giant cactus." Last year I tried out a giant show zinnia called "purple prince." Next year I plan to try the shocking green "Envy."
Ivy Dickinson how come my fescue is dying with the clover. It’s seems that it takes all the oxygen
AnimeShinigami13 because he likes how it looks
I love the extra stuff in the lawn videos, it makes it entertaining!
Good vid ans I love your Toro Mower but I have to point out some issues,
1* WEAR A MASK/ RESPIRATOR if you can small the fragrance of the baby shampoo then you are also breathing in the chemicals you used on your clover, wetting agents also work as an absorbing agent for your skin and lungs
2* Fine mist spraying is perfect for clover application but depending on the active ingredient of the product used you just contaminated your shoes and clothes, Surfactant's work for and against you.
I have worked on golf courses for 7 + years and know 1st hand the dangers of improper precautions for even then simplest jobs
Two dogs lawncare I am all for wearing the proper and suggested PPE. I sprayed for TruGreen for 15 years. These are minimal risk pesticides and the PPE is long sleeves, long pants, rubber gloves, boots (these are my water proof spray boots) and eye protection. That is what is listed on the label and is what I followed. All of my spray clothes get hand washed by me in my slop sink.
Fair enough, no offense intended :)
Wow... Baby shampoo?? Brilliant. Gonna do that this weekend. Been driving me nuts watching the stuff bead on the clover... I wish I found this channel a year ago... I would be dominating now... Gonna take so much patience to get my pristine lawn back. Keep up the good entertaining work.
Good job, Lawn Care Nut ! Thanks for the details. Anyone who is a proponent of clover in their lawn should NOT even be on this site. Clover destroys the uniformity of a lawn, which is one of the most desirable things about a great looking lawn.
I couldn't agree more!
I'd just like to say that I really like and appreciate all your vids. They are entertaining and informative. Keep it up!!
My wife: where’s the baby 👶🏽 shampoo 🛁
Me: 😬
Haha, that’s hysterical. What a great sense of humor you have.
Thanks, going to do this tomorrow! It's about the only weed I still have in my lawn, I wondered why!
megafast13 good luck let me know how it goes!
Applied Bayer with Baby Soap and 24 hours later, clover is no longer blooming and 48 hours later the crab grass is turning brown! Crazy how much a difference the shampoo made, because I used the same applicaton without and got zero results about a month ago! You're the best!
Thanks for the vid. Can't wait to try it on my clovers. This rain has been nuts, almost feels like we're stuck in spring!
Over the weekend had some friends over for the Derby, and we went around the room asking who we would have invited, dead or alive, to invite over have a mint julep and enjoy the race with.. People were saying like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Abe Lincoln, Dean Martin.. I said the Lawn Care Nut LOL.
My kind of guy. "So you want to start a little competition, do ya? Ooooookay, here we go."

Hot Frog88 thank you
I love clover and actually prefer a lawn with clover over a completely uniform grass lawn. I have several different types of clover, including white clover, red clover, and mini clover...and am I'm trying to get a little ornamental peanut established too. Clover and ornamental peanut, aka Perennial Peanut, use less water than grass, and are nitrogen fixing plants, so don't require fertilizer. Mini Clover and Perennial Peanut do not get very tall, so can be mowed less often, or not at all. Plus they have pretty flowers that attract bees. Oh, by the way, the finest mist possible that you recommend in the video for spraying, while I agree is likely the most effective at saturating the plant, is also the most prone to drifting in the wind. You had mentioned that the weedkiller smelled great after you added the baby shampoo and fine mist sprayed it on the clover, so that means you were likely breathing in little tiny micro-droplets of the spray, which I don't believe would be considered a best practice :-)
lol the neighbor's lawn is embarrassing in their lines and color. I know this video is almost a year old, but your lawn looks awesome! Great job! I'm working on mine so videos like this is great, thanks!
Stumbled across one of your videos and I was hooked!!! Lol. There's nothing like a nice looking lawn. Your videos are very informative and great quality. I already subscribed and look forward to seeing more of what you have to offer.
The domination you have over your neighbor is just obscene now. Looks awesome! Thanks for the great video as always!
krobak47 yeah I think he may be getting the hint lol
What sprayer is that? Thanks
Ivory liquid soap is the most effective OTC surfactant. It also has suspension properties which causes additional exposure time.
Does amazing things on ivy!
Wow! This video took a long time to say mix some baby shampoo with your weed killer...
+Danny M no doubt.
+The Lawn Care Nut that's not to say I didn't thoroughly watch the whole thing and enjoyed it! Great videos!
And it's bad advice in the first place to kill clover in your lawn.
No, it's not. The only thing it contributes is fixing nitrogen, which is not the only way to supply your lawn with nitrogen.
He like the sound of his own voice
You have some kick ass grass!. My neighbor always copy my techniques. Front lawn I don't mind but the back I had to put up a privacy fence
Actually clover is a good thing to have in your lawn; it crowds out actual weeds (before the invention of weed killers all lawn owners wanted and planted clover for it's ability to put nitrogen into the soil and it was the chemical companies who couldn't figure out how to kill broadleaf weeds without killing beneficial clover, too, that decided to claim clover was an undesireable weed so they could sell their product) like dandelions and crabgrass, produces wonderful food for the bees and other beneficial insects, puts a huge amount of the right kind of nitrogen into your soil without a penny out of your pocket, and holds up much better to drought and heat than lawn grasses. Plus the flowers are pretty and when you cut it along with your grass with a mulching lawnmower it feeds all the beneficial microbes in your soil which makes for a healthy turf over time. What you take out in lawn clippings you leave you put back in as mulch. And for those who claim it leaves piles of unsightly clumps of grass clippings all over, well I have an extremely by-the-book tidy normal-lawn guy next door who doesn't even know I never ever collect my grass in a bag (shh, don't tell him- he'd have a heart attack!) All he knows and wonders at is that even though he never sees me toiling endlessly over my yard it looks greener most of the time than his which he is always busy fiddling with. he doesn't ask and I don't mention it. I'll tell him when he asks...
Dude, you got me. Subscribed. Great video's. Been watching all morning while the wife yells "would you go get something done ???" Told her "but honey, I'm working on the lawn". Somehow she's not buying it. (lol)
A like and a subscribe for the great sense of humour. Keep up the good work! great video.
I am currently being dominated. It is interesting to see how my neighbor must be thinking. I am watching all of your videos. He will be very surprised come next spring!
your neighbor will be so happy you moved.
I bet he just as concerned over the neighbors as you
LOL, that's funny!
Hell yes no one wants a pig or careless neighbor.
Aw this guy is a cool dude! I like his personality in this video!
thanks bro
The first three minutes and twenty five seconds have absolutely nothing to do with killing clover. Going to Miami, mowing your lawn, dominating your neighbor. Dude, you’re loosing me. Seriously.
Dude, no one cares
Losing*
Dude - this video is from 6 years ago (5 when you commented).
I love the Miami scene, and that montage is exactly I love watching LCN! to enjoy the good things in life, especially the lawn
Yeah…. “Loosing”. Shut up troll
I like clover and buy large bags of it to plant. I have the prettiest yard in the neighborhood. Cut dandelions out by hand and use hand mower on highest setting.
DAWN dish washing liquid works best!
Add a little dish washing liquid to penetrate the waxy clover leaf surface, just a little.
why do you bag your grass clippings?
Man you are more petty than I am! Love it
I love this your style on this one! More videos like this!
Danny Dover thanks Bro. Having fun with this style.
The Lawn Care Nut what's the music at the 1:00 min Mark? came for the advice, asking about the music
This guy goes in at night and stares at himself in the mirror for hours lmao
uhmmm, i was told by the local garden store that white clover grass helps in the control of grubs, that eat the roots of grass, hence causing grass death (ugly dry patch)....
Clover's also drought resistant. My lawn stays green when it's dry compared to people with just grass. I don't even water it. I just wish property owners would stop the futile task of removing dandelions. There are enough John Deere fans in my area, so why don't they like the yellow dots in the green?
I live outside of Chicago and here we cal MilOrganite NewEarth! Comes from the same place, Chicago Metropolitan Sanitary District. They used to put thatstuff everywhere until they found out that it had Heavy Metals in it. Now, not so much.
Hell, I'm thinking about planting a big patch of clover and getting a bee hive.
Good idea. And plant it square in the middle all over this nut case's front lawn! Sheesh.
I hear you can get buckwheat, another bee favorite, in cotton candy pink.
I took my clover out of my lawn naturally with my hands pulling it out i pull all my weeds out by hand because i live a ecological, sustainable lifestyle... My yard is the best looking in my town now, & didn't need to buy any weed killers to do it..
I know, this reply is four years old, but that's exactly what I do, by hand and using a hoe, gets the job done for me, with using a bag catcher on my lawn mower.Thanks for the info
Awesome video as always man
At 5 minutes, the video finally gets to the point
I laughed so hard at the neighbors stripes! nice try neighbor!!
out of all the cars you showed, the 69 Camero was the coolest
You never showed us what you used to kill the Clover leaf ??? WTF? is't the title of the video 'how' to get rid of Clover ??
31acruz ...are you really that mad lol etf
I want my money back! this is false advertising !
To be honest with you it work for me i just had to do 2 applications
I guess I was looking to see which product you used brother, the bottle is on edge so we can't see, if you can't say we understand. The hints as to how to apply it are helpful.
@@31acruz Take some time to read the intro, then click on "Show More." The link to the product is there.
My grass is looking really good but i don't know where this clover came from im gonna try this formula you made..i just put down milorganite an some seed in a bare spot then it seem like over nite the clover came i hope this works...great video all my neighbors are mowing stripes my way now they really are fighting words around here thank you...
I'm glad I don't live next to you. Awesome lawn dude.
I know you are in Florida now but you will still get some kind of clover in AZ we get a broad leaf clover and a nice Chemical to use is Gibson broadleaf killer with with R11 and it kills it in like 1 to 2 weeks and we can us Dawn soap for us a Sir Faxon.
I wish my who lawn was clover and not grass. Clover is beautiful, whimsical, and hearty. My Bermuda Grass is a pain in the ass.
llamawizard throw some seed out
Then plant fescue.
This year has been crazy with clovers
I stopped watching at 2:47. For a video about how to get rid of clover, clover hadn't even been mentioned yet. If I wanted to see a video about things other than clover I would have watched something else. Waaaaaaayyy too much fluff.
1001Hobbies Best lawn guy on RUclips. You want the best lawn possible? Stay and learn.
Plain old weed and feed works fine on clover. Apply when the dew is on the lawn.
The thing is, the neighbor challenged. You can't ever let them feel like they have a chance. It's one of the common laws of domination.
That's funny, I was going to suggest to use dish soap but baby shampoo works too. My go to weed killer to wipe out everything I don't want to grow is straight Vinegar with 1/4 cup salt and 2 tsp of dish soap to every gallon of vinegar. Now it does kill everything but you have to get it to the roots or you only kill the surface. If you want to plant later in the spot where you used salt, you have to replace the soil because it takes a long time to go away. On the flip side, my pup LOVES the clover and pure Rye grass, but not enough sun to grow with our shade trees. It's soft on his little belly to lay with his legs kicked out behind him. But that's just us. We never use any chemicals of any kind on our lawn and put down Milorganite about once a month to fertilizer the best weeds Mother Nature blew onto our property. Really enjoy your videos even though we'll never have amazing grass like yours. I learned about Milorganite from your video's...so thank you.
We wouldn't want any flowers for the bees. Or nitrogen for the soil; it's better to pay for nitrogen.
And end up having to "dethatch," which NEVER happens in the absence of chemical fertilizers.
Yes, leave the clover! It’s got important jobs to do!
@@orchidgarden3124 If you want an ugly ass uard, then by all means, keep your clover. Just keep it away from my lawn.
@@OrphanCrippler1 striving for homogeneity. I'll keep the clover.
you should add a dye to the mix so you can see where you've sprayed so you don't over spray or miss weeds
Flexing on camera, looks like a snake swallowed a toad frog.LOL
GREAT VIDEO AND HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD BIRTHDAY
Lamont Hunt thanks Bro
I bought a house, wanted a large yard. So I got it, then I realized I had no idea of how to care for the lawn or even repair it, where repair was needed. Till I found your channel, very understandable, simple & right to the point. Your videos carry great quality explanation for all those difficult lawn issues. THANKS and keep it up!
+Brandon Patterson that's awesome Brandon! Glad you are finding value and I hope you are dominating!
Sir Factant! Killer of weeds!
:-)
Interesting home construction. It appears to be a frame and siding home but the brick on the front makes one think it is a more substantial build.
Clover is not a weed, Allowed to grow along fences, in small patches and it becomes art..
it attracts butterflies birds and life, it is a wonderful addition to a yardscape, people are obsessed with perfection yet have no idea what perfection is, In Nature, Life happens, things grow and we try and take some control.
Actually a weed is defined as any plant growing in competition with the desired plant. So in this case, if the desired plant is grass then yes Clover would be a weed. It's the same concept as field corn being a weed in a soybean field.
Boom
Spot on. It's not a weed.
On a golf course full of lush grass, even roses are considered "weed".
its called opinion and i happen to think clover ia ugly i like grass in my lawn not weeds
Lol the strips...your neighbor snuck them in while you were gone 😂...but damn your lawn is so much darker...nice
Grass is a weed in my yard. Bring on the clover. Clover has so many better attributes than grass.
Agreed.
You got to be kidding
so true keeps the weeds away and u can eat and good for you
mic S And it fixes nitrogen and feeds bees!
To each his own. I guess it's easier to let one weed take over and tell yourself you don't mind it so that you don't have to worry about all the other ones.
Surfactant is also secreted by lungs to decrease the surface tension of alveoli, if a baby born before 35 week gestation, they don't have enough surfactant and developing Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. ;-)
Why kill clover? Clover is nice. I like dandelions too- beautiful flowers.
have you tried using triclopyr for violets? and I'm not saying the 8% violet spray... but more like a brush killer. from what I understand it's an organic compound that's for targeting woody type weeds.
The thing about all your videos is that I have skip the first 4-5 minutes to get to the info.
all of them? can't be.
When using a selective systemic herbicide Best time to spray clover is went it's young and is eating alot do to it's high metabolism.the older the weed the harder to kill ,because it's metabolism slows down and gets stronger
My channel coming soon
I bet your neighbors couldn't wait til you moved...
Why lol
+David Jones its a lawn... you take it way too seriously
Why would you assume that about me? i simply asked you a question catty man lmao
+David Jones i answered thebquestion as if i was talking to the person my initial statement was made towards, it wasn't necessarily directed at you.
So you meant "He" not "you" lol.
You know what I say Rob, each to their own, it really shows your true colors when you try mock someones passion.
Each to their own Rob, each to their own.
Here I am planting clover in my yard. I also love dandelions.
thank you for the tips on how to get rid of clover in your lawn. Next time cut out the BS and get to the point. it, annoying
That neighbor is throwing down the gauntlet! 😆
Why would you get rid of clover? It fixes nitrogen in the soil and when it flowers is beautiful. I mix red and white clover in with grass seed when I do lawns.
ikeknights how does it look? I’d like some clover but I still want my grass
surface tension can be eliminated by the addition of what's called a surfactant in your spray....several drops of ordinary (liquid) dish soap will work wonders............mix well...............
i bet you drop round up in your neighbors yard in order to make your lawn outstanding out lol
Allyn,
You just took your audio/video skills to another level!!!
Kevin Dowe thank you!
Why would you want to get rid of clover? It fixes nitrogen in the soil, supports the dwindling bee population, and looks way nicer than a boring monoculture lawn.
+Ethan Holshouser because I'm the Lawn Care Nut, that's why
+The Lawn Care Nut You are a nut, I'll give you that...
My understanding is the clover chokes out the grass and spreads like rabbits, if you get my drift, :) I had a small section in the back corner of my yard due to my neighbor and I ignored it and now almost a quarter of my back yard is nothing but clover.
I'm thinking the neighbor neither cares or notices what the guy next door is doing to his perfect lawn. I came to find out how hard it would be to get rid of the clover in my lawn, but after seeing what it could look like without it, I've changed my mind. It's not so bad after all.
dish soap is cheaper and better.
You could also fill it while you tilt it, just like like a beer to avoid foam
Nut is the right word for you, you would rather get cancer from lawn chemicals then have a weed
+Fexican Kringle interesting perspective. thank you
+The Lawn Care Nut Case, but dont take it personally, tell Fex to fex off
+YourLawnAndGarden rofl good one!
can't be serious all the time
hey a nice lawn is worth it. who cares u get cancer or kill off bees and good microbes.. and pets and your kids come down with immune problems At least u come ah a nice green perfect lawn
Best part i have never sprayed chemical in 30 years and my lawn is super green even in a drought .. and i never every have to water it..??? must be all the natural chemical free soil and grass grown
After getting rid of 95 % of the creeping charlie in my lawn, I'll take the clover that has begun growing in its place. The little white heads are a much better sight than the bare ground the creeping charlie leaves as it takes over the lawn. How did I do it? I got on my hands and knees and pulled it out working in the shady areas when the weather was hot and then in the sunny areas on cooler days. About 1/2 an hour a day and my27,000 square feet was basically rid of charlie in about a month. Now I still pull out the vine- like weed the day before I mowsi it doesn?t gr\et cuhg uo\; ki the ml
Mike Murphy I hand pulled that f'in creeping Charlie by hand and out came the grass too! So I used this guys fix which uses borax as a pre spray and then spot spray a weed killer. It really does work but I still don't spray the clover!
Hey look at me.Look how cool I am.This isnt about clover it's about me.Any liquid soap works.ANY Liquid Soap is a surfactant.
Look up surfactant
Stick with what you know Simple tip mow a little higher. Clover will be mostly gone. Late spring is the time to control weeds if possible. Sticker is the best help for weed control.
Removing clover? Why? You should PLANT clover!
I want grass yard, not clover yard, sorry clover!
It's been a crazy year in regards to rain. Seems to rain here every night. I haven't ran my irrigation system in weeks. The only downside is disease is a major problem.
man, you're a lawn care nut!
