Losing the fight against some stupid broadleaf in the front yard lawn. MIL reckons I need to weed and feed it but a weekend 7 days after a mow but 7 days before the next mow with no rain is a bit much to ask for at the moment.
When I moved in the back yard was a dump. but what little kikuyu was there went nuts and within 2 years with basically no effort the kikuyu won and it now looks fantastic. Thinking I should just start transplant runners in the front yard and let it do its thing. Might take a few years but if it ends up half as good as the back yard I wont be complaining.
I use chemical warfare., broadleaf herbicide and it works well, but Iβm not a gardening enthusiast so my word probably doesnβt mean much round here
yeah I have been trying that, but losing the war quite badly unless I wanna poison the whole thing.
I mean yeah, I wasnβt shy about using a lot of it.
