: I'm pretty much down to just the odd leaf...But LOTS (And I do mean lots) or yellow heads.... Thats why I was thinking of mowing them off Surely if you mow the yellow heads off then they haven't had time to make and shed seed? *Blush* Yes....well..... I was just checking......B-) |

Newbie Weeding question
I'm no expert, but I have rejuvinated a few lawns for friends and relatives,
first by rakeing and then using a weed and feed treatment ( Evergreen Complete or B&Q's alternative). If weed problem is large, then a further treatment of weed and feed will be required, but dont do this withing 2 months of the first treatment. Regular mowing cures most weed problems. In October re-seed bare patches and top dress the lawn with a mixture multipurpose compost and sand and rake well in. Jeff "DDEckerslyke" wrote in message ... Newbie gardeners. Just moved into a house where the small front lawn (20 - 25 sq m) is about 15 or 20 percent dandelions. Can anyone here either advise us what to do, or point us in the direction of a good site/book/resource? Do we dig them out? (I had a go at a big one and the root was approximately 2cm diameter, deeper than I could get, and I've left an impact crater.)Use weedkiller? (We've got three young kids so we're reluctant to do this. Is there environmentally and kid friendly weedkiller?) Thanks in advance dd |
