We have a new lawn, but the pre-treatment failed to kill all of
the field bindweed - surprise, surprise! - and there are a hundred
or so small patches in irritating positions. It is, of course,
not discouraged by mowing or being pulled out by hand.

Is there any lawn weedkiller that is worth bothering with? All
of the other weeds, I either don't mind or can be removed by hand.

Teasing each patch out and using glyphosate is INCREDIBLY tedious,
as well as likely to kill patches of grass (whatever care I take).

Nick Maclaren.

You would probably find one of the hormone based weedkillers for
lawns would work but what you then do with a years worth of mowings I m
not sure (but I do know they cause al sorts of problems on the flower
beds!)
