BESIDES picking them, is there a way to effectively get rid of crabgrass and clovers? please don't be stupid and say, just pull them. It just takes too much time and effort.

There are chemical solutions. Go to your local garden center.
There are some natural methods. Reseeding with your favorite grass is helpful. Cutting your grass at a higher level can favor the growth of regular grass. Again, discuss and read about this in the guides at your local garden center, and study this at websites on-line.

The clover you can get rid of with a good weed and feed like Scott's or Green thumb. As for the crabgrass, well it's a grass any chemical you use will kill the rest of the grass also. Scott's make a crab grass preventer that you spread in early spring when the crabgrass seed is starting to germinate. that's the best time to get rid of it. Halts also has a crabgrass preventer.

I'd suggest a trip to Home Depot or Lowe's Garden Department. Depending on the type of grass you have, they should have a weed killer that will effectively resolve this issue for you while feeding and preserving your lawn. Be certain to read the package carefully to ensure that you buy the correct product for your needs. I would consult with an employee in the Garden Department as they are usually quite knowledgeable about these things.

Home Depot and Lowes sell granules for lawn to get rid of what you want.It comes in different size bags and you apply as you do like fertilizer; in some cases water afterwards.I always use the weed and feed 3 times a year.If you don't want to use your water wait and apply when it rains it will do a better job than you and the water is free.
