Lawn feed & weed - advice please

Our grass is absolutely full of clover. The lawn was seeded from new 2 years ago. Last year it wasn't too bad but we were lucky in that the landscapers who did our garden came and fertilised it etc.

This year we have fertilised but the clover is taking over everything. What should we use on it - is it too late? Also, can we order feed and weed online (if that's the right way to go). We would need a fairly large quantity and have found everything tends to be rather expensive in garden centres (get fertiliser from agricultural merchant).

Any advice pls?

Thanks

I would use Verdone rather than weed and feed.

If you want to feed the grass as well use a low nitrogen autumn feed as it's getting late in the year. A normal high nitrogen feed produces too much lush growth which is prone to damage and disease over winter.
