Get rid of clover in my flower garden?
I have a serious problem with clover in my flower garden… I’m hesitent to use chemicals because I do not know what their effect would be on the flowers and other plants. When I pull them out they just come back stronger.
Is there a fast growing ground cover that I can use which will fill in the gaps in my flowerbed and eliminate the clover?
Put down a good layer (3-4 inches) of mulch. We like to use grass clippings. Depending on how far apart things are in your flower garden, you can also use a good layer of newspapers under the grass clippings. This will usually keep almost anything down. The grass clippings will not add any weeds to the garden and after a few days dry to a light green to brown color. The other benefit is that the clippings will add nitrogen and organic matter to your soil.
