Hi I am at my wits end trying to kill the weeds in my lawn - The coverage must be about 60% weeds to grass.

I am wondering whats the best thing I can do? I dont want to have to rip it all up and start again as thats a huge job - Are there any hardcore weedkillers I can put on and kill these pesky dandelions, moss and the things you blow away? Then what? Rotavate and re - seed?

Any help is much appreciated as it kills me mowing them all summer long!!

Its not a huge area of grass either, prolly less than 5sq meters.

I used hardcore weed killer and it burnt the rest of the grass-- never again. I carefully poured house hold bleach into the centre of each weed, dandelion and moss, it took 2 wks to burn the roots then I used an old kitchen knife to dig around them and pull them out. I put grass seeds in the holes and honestly TrikkiNikki5 my lawn is lush. All done on the cheap and not too backbreaking. Got this tip from our Park Keeper. Hope it helps you, let me know lol

ps He told me to use 1 table spoon bi - carb per gallon of water once a month to make the grass deep green, not tried that yet
