Whats the best way of getting rid of Yarrow from lawn ??


I've tried a few chemicals but none seem to touch it.


Are you sure it's yarrow? That's rather a tall plant for a lawn weed.
But if it is yarrow, just pull it up and compost it ( it's shallow
rooted and a very good activator of compost heaps)

I'd love to grow yarrow, it was a favourite of my childhood. I'd pick the
blossoms and put them into tiny vases in my dolls' house, they dried and
stayed freshly white or pink for years.

A few years ago I met a child called Yarrow, a lovely girl who lives in a
yurt in Scotland. They have a local river/stream, the Yarrow, for which she
was named.
