Lawn Weeds - Oxalis Weeds in My Lawn!

All right. I hate to admit it, but my front lawn has been taken over in parts by Oxalis weeds. It is also called Yelllow Woodsorrel, but I just call it ugly.

Plus, on top of that, I am pretty sure I have myself to blame for it getting into my front yard to begin with. Yes, I do live in a windy area, and seeds could have easily come in that way, or a dozen other ways, namely my neighbor's weed patch next door, but I think I spread it from the backyard to the front myself.

I know to clean my lawn mower blades and its underside after I mow the back, and before I mow the front because pieces of weeds will cling and drop off, but seriously, who is going to do that when you're in the middle of Saturday yard work?

I also know better, and should have been keeping up with simple hand weeding when I noticed the first small patch take hold. But I didn't. I also know that if I had been composting my lawn a few more times a year, and given it more nutrients, it would not have been so readily taken over. But these things are hindsight. No whining, I need to address the problem at hand. Stiff upper lip and all that you know?

So, since I have the problem, I am going to post my weekly saga as I battle my Oxalis lawn weeds. After all, I bet you've had this problem at least once in your life, and now is a good time to do it; while the weeds are actively growing. Plus, it will be interesting to see who wins!

Stay tuned folks!
