mowing the weeds wont help. you need to get the weed and root out. So
get out a small board or piece of ply wood about 2'x2' or 4'x4' so you
can stand or sit on and not hurt the grass roots while you are pulling
the weeds out by the roots. Dandilions are the worst to let go to seed
since the seeds will blow all over the place in the slightest of winds.

if you are going to pull the weeds by hand I find a good sharp kitchen knife
very useful (the kind you cut up veges or steak with) to cut the stem just
under the soil line or work the roots free from the soil.
