Yarrow Lawn

I am finally admitting defeat regarding the removal of yarrow from my lawn. I have tried "feed & weed" treatments, but it seems to thrive on it. Picking it out is very time consuming, leaves bald patches, and only gives a temporary respite - I think that it is spreading underground. It has now taken over more than half the area, and actually looks better than the grass. I have the choice of digging up the entire lawn and starting again, or leaving the yarrow to get on with it. Has anybody any experience of a yarrow lawn, as opposed to a grass lawn? I believe that in foreign parts, yarrow is an acceptable form of ground covering. Don. If you've got a problem - feature it ;~)) Yarrow is a typical weed of dry, sunny, impoverished sites so I'm guessing that about sums up the site of your lawn. In that case it is ideal for establishing a wildflower area, very attractive, low maintenance, environmentally friendly etc. You'll need to research species for your area and soil type.
