Help please - sprouts in lawn - should I remove?
Please excuse my terminlogy, Im new to gardening.
I have a small hedge type thing that borders one side of my front lawn. It appears that it has now seeded the lawn as little sprouts have come up through the grass near to the hedge. image here (190k) - hedge on right, sprouts all over. http://www.cokey.co.uk/house/front_lawn.jpg I usually just mow over these. Should I actually be removing them, pulling or digging? Im not too fussed about the lawn as although it looks relatively nice, it's not in tip-top condition, so if mowing over them is ok then I will continue. I dont however want them spreading everywhere! any advice greatly appreciated Marc.c |

as long as you mow regularly (say once a week) I'd carry on. I have much the
same attitude to our lawn (i.e. I will tolerate anything green in it (except dandelions )) and I just mow it once a week. So far this tactic has worked. It is AFAIK the same as that used at Chatsworth and their lawns look fine and have to stand up to much abuse from the public. -- Hayley (gardening on well drained, alkaline clay in Somerset) |

Of course, I'm in a rural area, and most of the yard isn't visible from the street. And my neighbors are mostly not of the putting green school.
