I'm sure there's some info somewhere on how to take care of a lawn
'naturally'. For starters, using an safe/natural pre-emergent in the early
spring and late fall will do wonders. For keeping thing's tidey, allow the
grass to grow out from time to time during the early summer, this chokes out
young weeds... Also, don't mow too low, sounds simple but it does wonders...
With Kentucky Blue Grass, anything under 4in is too low and allows weeds to
sprout.... in abundance. there are a few other things that you can do
naturally...

Here's a link with some good tips:

Call an Organic Lawn Fertilizer Company and get an estimate to have them
fertilize for you. Although they may be a little above normal, I've seen
the best looking lawns are done with organic fertilizer..

My large backyard is constantly infested with weeds. It is mostly grass
rather than lawn. I can't use herbicides because my backyard borders a
wild bird sanctuary and lake. What do you suggest for getting rid of the
weeds? I have used a handy tool called the Weed Popper, but it's tines
are too far apart and often miss the roots of the weeds. Also can weeds
like dandelions reroot themselves if they are left on top of the ground?
Thanks for any advice.
