I am having no success in getting rid of the clover in my lawn.    I  have
used 2 year old Clover Killer that never worked when new.
. . . . .Can anyone reccommend a tank spray type clover killer that I could
use?
I live at 5200 ft asl and have an extremely short growing season.
. . . .  Also, the only 'Broadleaf  Weed Killer',  I have success with  I
have to mix much stronger than the directions, or it does not work at all.
And then it kills the grass too. Again anyone know of a tank spray type
Broadleaf Killer that may suit me?.
. . . . in advance thanks. . charlie

. . . .thanks for the reply.
Weed-b-Gone in the 1 gallon packaged spray kit works fine on dandelions, but
I'm not too sure how the bulk W-b-gone I mix is working.   It will take a
few more days.
 I mixed some older 'Broadleaf killer 1.5 stronger than directed, as the
factory directions had no effect at all.  It now is a great total killer.
Grass too.

depends upon how actively the plants are
growing, heat, rain, etc.



  well, when you don't follow directions...  
1.5 stronger...

 Best results occurr when the plant is actively growing.  If it is too hot or
too cold or too dry the plant is not growing.

Don't know why the OP is having problems killing broadleaf weeds.
I've used the same product, WeedBGone for years and it's been
very effective when mixed and used as directed.  It kills most
weeds in one application.  Some require a second application
about 2 weeks later.  I apply it with a tank sprayer.

Clover is harder to kill, but again I've used the Ortho Clover/Oxalis
killer and it's worked well.
