Are you missing the wonderful value of cloer in lawns, gardens and fields? Helps keep the lawn green in the worse dry weather. Helps keep the lawn healthy. Why is grass the only thing of beauty in a lawn.?

Has any one you know tried using compost tea to control clover in
lawns? My theory is that since clover is a nitrogen fixer and nitrogen
fixing bacteria require alkaline soils, that good strong fungal teas
would lower the pH enough to make the fixers and thus the clover,
disappear. What am I missing?

Cheers,
