    I tried Dakota but It didn't do anything. Any Suggestions that want kill my clover? I think it is two different weeds. Both seem to grow in clumps.

    The presents of sandspur indicates the soil is acidic and needs lime.

    Post plus(4%) will take care of grasses and not hurt clover.

    We've had sandspurs in our lawn. We got rid of it by pulling it up by hand before it got a foothold. If it isn't too wide spread, you might try hitting it very selectively with the already mentioned herbicides and a small backpack or even handheld sprayer to kill it to the root.

    Johnny Reb's image calls it Sandbur, not Sandspur. I assume I'm talking about the same weed.

    I learned something in this thread from Catdaddy about the lime/pH. Sandspurs belong in hell.
