Hello,



This is my first post. I wonder whether anyone would be able to help

identifty a weed in my lawn (in the UK) and how I might be able to
get

rid of it without a lot of chemicals.



I have included a photo.-





Buttercup?



Many thanks. I am sure that you are right.




You don't need a lot of chemicals, just one ot
two treatments of a broad-leaf weedkiller for grass
should do it. Apply it with a tank sprayer to the
spots that need it. That uses the least herbicide
and delivers it where it's needed as opposed to the
weed-n-feed type products that you spread over the
whole lawn.

Ijust keep a trigger sprayer of weed-b-gon or equivalent and spray them a few
times a year. If you get them early, they go away pretty fast. Sometimes it'll
take a couple sprayings.
