Children and Weedkiller/Lawnfeeder
Hi all,
My pristine, new lawn became overgrown with weeds, owing to the wife and i being kept busy over the last few of years with children. Now that they're slightly older i am able to turn some attention to it again, and in my "wisdom" decided to try a Tesco lawn "feed and de-weed" all in one effort. It said that after spreading (i did it by hand) that the lawn should be safe for children after it's had a good rain or watering. Well, it had at least three days of decent rain (i did it on Weds) and i watered it too for good measure. However in spite of this, the lawn still seems to have a worrying smattering of the grains, or grain-stains (esp. where there wasn't much grass). Should i tread them in? Or are they indeed safe? Or have i put too much down? Thanks in advance for any advice, Chris. |

Or have i put too much down? I don't really think there's a problem. The tots won't eat the stuff, after all. I suspect the problem is the hand-spreading: if you're anything like me, there will be places with far more of the product than others. A good mechanical spreader would have left a more even distribution, so the rain would have done its work better. -- Mike. |

To start, sort through your children's closest to find any clothesthat they are no longer wearing. You can use these clothes to sell to theresale shop for extra money, or allow your children to swap the clothes fortheir own selections on their own. B | Lawns | |||
