Help. My lawn is infested with clover. The lawn now has a blanket of
clover with small while flowers. Last week I sprayed Ortho's weed
killer using a garden host, but it doesn't seem to have made much
difference.
Any suggestions on what else I can do? Thanks for any suggestions.

Clover is good for your lawn.  It adds nitrogen to the soil.  It feeds
the
bees.  Leave it alone.

Sometimes the clover can get out of hand and take over.  Every 4 or 5
years I need to thin out the clover in my lawn but I don't try to get
rid of it completely.  Any broad leaf weed killer should do the
trick.  The OP must not have applied it correctly.

Ah, well, I have a diverse ecosystem in my yard.  Some of it is grass.
The only thing I get annoyed about is thistles.
