weeds in the grass.

[maggie01]

My garden is looking pretty good after a lot of effort but the grass lets it down. There were a lot of daises and some other weeds in the grass.

I don't want to use weedkillers as I have a little dog and nothng is worth an acciden happening to her so I have painstacking took as many weeds out by hand as i can. About three carrier bags full.

I have re-seed the bare patches. If I keep doing this, over time will the weeds dissappear.

Unless you kill the roots they will just keep coming back.

I have two dogs and have used Verdone on my lawn very successfully over the last couple of years, I simply followed the instructions to keep them off until it dried without causing any ill effect to the dogs. It didn't do much to the daisies though so a couple of years ago every time I spotted one daring to flower I dug it out with a small pen knife, now fingers crossed it seems to be daisy free.

I think that's sad....I love to see daisies and violets in my grass.

[Frank97]

Each to their own woofgang, my house has fields on two sides so I'm surrounded by daisies and dandy lions which I do think look beautiful, but not on my lawn.

[woofgang]

I have no dandelions now, my tortoise ate them all. I am reduced to cultivating them in pots for her.

[Frank97]

You should move to Lympsham in Somerset we have them by the field full at the moment.

I wish.....we used to live in Wells but moved away with DH's job.

I put a small pinch of salt right in the middle of dandelions and they die never to return, but I never get daisy`s, but I expect it would work on them as long as you get `em` young.

I personally don't mind a few daisies etc in the lawn, they add a bit of colour, and when I mow it, then they have gone anyway!............no problem!.........

got the same problem i have 4 little dogs and dare not risk putting any weedkillers on the weeds in my lawn as my dogs sometimes eat the grass. a part of my lawn is just moss and dandelions with little grass. yet next doors looks like a bowling green but she has no dogs to worry about only her pet cat. and why do the weeds grow faster than the grass lol .

"The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, but it's just as difficult to mow" :-)
