I have a great fescue lawn. However, in one spot of the lawn, I have 90%
weeds and hardly any fescue.
To prevent the weeds for expanding, I pulled everything, and dug deep into
the roots. I didn't use any chemicals.

Now the weeds have grown back and I'll use chemicals if I have to. One
person at the store suggested I use roundup, another a crab grass killer
There's 2 blown up pictures. You'll notice on one of them how most of it is
weed but the area turns into fescue. On the other, you can see the area I
dug up and how everything is growing back now 3 weeks later.

I do have a lemon tree a few feet from this spot and do not want to ruin it.
Below is the URL. Suggestions appreciated.

Thanks

Don't use roundup; it will kill the grass as well as the weeds. Pull up
the weeds that you can, disturbing the soil as little as possible. Use a
spray bottle of broadleaf weed killer (like 2,4-d) to spot treat the
tougher weeds. Use an amine formulation rather than an ester to avoid
drift. (Probably any weed killer formulated for homeowners will be amine.)
And keep the grass mowed; weeds hate that.

Best regards,
Bob
