What is a good spray to kill clover?. Too big a patch to dig it all out. I just want it killed to never return, lol. TIA

Are you sure it is not oxalis?

Then why kill it, bees love it, you are likely to poison the bees too if you spray.

Cut any flowers off to stop bees, and then brush it with Roundup. Wear gloves.

Roundup is pretty useless on clover. Versatill if you can get it, otherwise check the herbicides recommended for controlling weeds in lawns.

clover is good mulch. Just turn it over or cover with newspaper etc if it bothers you. Spray poison on food producing patch is not wise for you or insects.

Funny thing about oxalis - I planted some of one of the rarer decorative forms into a rather difficult barren bit of our community garden, over the top of some miniature spring bulbs. It was doing rather well until our gardening contractor spotted 'oxalis' and uprooted the lot, bulbs and all, and returned the spot to barren bare soil.
I stayed the clover in my gravel drive with lawn spray for broad leaf weeds mixed with white vinegar on a hot day and almost all died completely, only a couple plants survived to grow again.

Please don’t use roundup, you will just get more weeds you don’t want popping, not to mention it’s a poison and highly toxic in the enviroment, just pull it out, job done

I was told to dig it out to make sure I got all the little bulbs or it would just come back.

Clover doesn't have bulbs.

Oops, sorry I was thinking of Oxalis.
