It's a tough plant to get rid of, but if you let it go it can take over -- |

Lemon grass will form small yellow flowers, has a thin stems and grows 4 inches tall or more. Clover stays lower to the ground with purple or white flowers. |

Clover or a relative. If you don't like it weed it out now, while it is
small. Or wait until next year, and hit it with an herbicide that stops germination of dicot (ie not grass) seeds, then weed out the survivors. Odds are, much of it is growing from seed. Una |

See: http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/PESTNOTES/pn7490.html I would also visit a "real" garden center (not Home Depot) and ask their advice on herbicides. They will know what's approved in your state and generally suitable for the local climate and soil conditions. If you don't like that stuff, deal with it now. Clover will spread quite agressively and that will only make it harder to control. -- |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | Malcolm Hoar "The more I practice, the luckier I get". | | Gary Player. | | http://www.malch.com/ Shpx gur PQN. | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

It's clover. Set a bear trap on it and just wait for Lucky the
leprechaun to show up. Then take his pot of gold and hire a gardener to re-sod your yard. wrote: s this some weed? How do i get rid of this? I live in SoutheastTexas and i have St. Augustine grass.

Clover used to be considered advantageous for lawns. It greens up faster
than grass and fixes nitrogen so it helps the soil. Weed & Feed kills it along with other broadleaf weeds so the fertilizer companies just listed clover as a weed on their packaging and now thats how many people think of it.

I would keep it Looks like clover. A lot of people don't like it. Don't know why because it stays green and is low growing. The small flowers it has and they supply bees with nectar. |

Yep, and particularly, once N levels reach values grasses like, the clover will gradually fade on its own to regenerate more densely when N levels fall again...all in all, not much to be said against it imo. White clover, anyway...some of the red or field clovers are pretty coarse for lawns--I didn't look at pic's but from what others have said I'd presume that's what OP has (white, that is)... -- |
