The problem is that all the weed killers I've seen are broadleaf killers and that includes clover in its definition of \"a weed\".  I have a doubt that the clover would \"choke\" out the Creeping Charlie, but maybe if I overseed with some clover, it would make it harder for the Creeping Charlie to spread next year and the years after?<\/p>\n<p>A few weeks ago, I seeded the lawn with new grass seed with a spreader after some dethatching and mild tilling, but I have yet to go ahead with any aggressive clover plans.  I came across <a href=\"http:\/\/versicolor.ca\/lawns\/docs\/clover.html\">this article<\/a> that talks about seeding and how to get a clover lawn to \"take\".  I'll check out the Halifax Seed Company as listed, but I'm thinking a U.S. company might be a better choice for me (I have no idea if plant seed is allowed to cross the border).  Google ads came through for me and led me to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.outsidepride.com\/store\/catalog\/White-D-Clover-p-16701.html\">Outside Pride<\/a>, where the seed is priced at $35 USD for a 10-lb bag of Dutch White Clover seed.  Is that a good price?  I have no idea but I ordered it yesterday online...stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m having a hard time with Creeping Charlie and other weeds this year.
