Default Ground Ivy taking over my lawn

1) Are there any NATURAL ways to rid my lawn of Ground Ivy and
other broadleaf weeds? We have babies and we don't want to use
chemicals.


Put on gloves and knee pads and get at it, cause if you don't hurry,
it'll be on the roof! You couldn't kill it with chemicals anyway,
even if you wanted to, without killing everything else around it.

Ground ivy isn't hard to kill with any 3-way herbicide. The problem
is killing the shit in beds or neighbors's yards. It will vine back.

We hit them every 6 to 8 weeks as needed.


What chemical do you use? And do you do the whole lawn or just local?

Also, do you think the Scotts 4-step process would be sufficient weed
prevention? I'm pretty sure things were a lot more under control when I
was using Scotts, but I'd like to hear what you guys think...
