Re: Clover in lawn and as cover crop

Gardens Alive! sells a pre-emergent called A-Maize-ing something or other
that is made from corn for use on the lawn.  But even this product will
kill clover seedlings.  Some varieties of clover are perennial (like White
Dutch), so if you use a perennial variety and time sowing the seeds for
after the pre-emergent wears off, you should get some clover growing and
still be able to control the broad leaf weeds somewhat.  I think we can all
agree that it would be wonderful to have a "gentle" weed killer that
targeted only the plants we dislike.
