You could, but then I think it's a case of money versus time.

You could spend a lot of time digging over, but then you would also need to
reseed the lawn anyway and might not completely clear the problem. Whilst I
don't entirely agree with the use of chemicals, you may be better served
getting one of those weed and feed products. They will help to stimulate
the grass (also feed it of course) and get rid of the moss and weeds. The
latter costs probably more than the grass seeds, but takes less time and
effort.

By the way, you'll need to keep these products away from the pond - the fish
and other aquatic whatnots won't like it.

Hi
Loved your useful info. I am fairly new to gardening and any help is
much appreciated. My front lawn is full of weeds( it would take me a
year to dig them up) and ant hills. Bearing in mind I have a limited
garden fund, do I have to dig it all up and start again?
