Help managing weeds in lawn
(feddit.nu)
We've just got our first house and with it came a lot of new challenges in the shape of gardening.
One issue I have not managed to solve is weeds in our lawn.
I have been ripping these things out of the lawn a lot (see pic in post) but I feel like I can't win. There are big patches where you can hardly see the grass.
I know not everyone want the perfect grassy lawn, and I don't need perfection. But these things are growing and spreading at an alarming rate. I need to do something about them.
Where we are at now, I feel like we are past the point of ripping them up one by one. We need some wider, more effective solution.
What are these and how do I fight them in scale?
Extra pic:
Make the grass healthier - mow at the height for the species and overseed again when appropriate for the species. That will help crowd out weeds.
Ignore the weeds, or keep pulling them out. July is not a good time to address lawn health; pesticides rely on actively growing weeds to work.
