Spring's warmer weather is finally here, inviting us back out into our yards once more. If you're lucky enough to have one, there really is nothing better than sprawling out on your lawn in the sun with a good book, but look closely and you might find another, more unwelcome resident among your blades of grass. The culprit? Clover.
During the cooler temperatures of early spring, it's likely this dense crop has made a home for itself in your yard. Preferring moister conditions, clover commonly spreads its way across your lawn via underground stems called rhizomes only to crop up more visibly this time of year when longer and warmer days prevail. Some of us aren't bothered by the surfacing of these small, three-leaved perennials but for others, they're an unsightly weed that destroys their neatly kept lawn.
