I have a lot of clover and crabgrass in my lawn but hesitate to use

going out. Is there anything I can apply before I go that will do in
the bad plants and be gone by the time I let the cats out again?

I read about RoundUp in the Poison Ivy thread and that seems perfect
except for it killing the grass that I'd prefer to keep. I don't want
to come back to a brown dirt garden.

Perhaps next spring I'll spray the whole lawn with RoundUp and plant
grass a few days later? My lawn really is being overtaken by clover.
I've tried lime; the ground has a lot of clay.

Suggestions are welcome.

Your cats will likely encounter worse than Roundup if allowed to run -
attacks by other animals, disease, automobiles, etc.

Yes, I know. That's why I fenced in the yard so they can't get out.
Best of both worlds.


You have a lid on the back yard, prison exercise yard style? I haven't met a
non-elderly cat yet, that can't climb a fence when motivated. Not trying to
start an argument, just curious.
