Broadleaf Weeds in my Lawn - Week 3!

Week 3 of the battle against my Oxalis Weeds continues.

Wow, here is the picture of the Oxalis weeds 24 hours after spraying them with the Organic product, Burnout. This is a non-selective herbicide so it did get some of my grass too, but since I plan on overseeding, I'm not terribly worried.

This weekend I am going to give it a good raking and pull up a lot of the dead material and then lay down about 1/4 inch of compost and give it a good watering.

Next week I am going to overseed with fresh lawn seed. Originally I had a blue-fescue mix, but I'm going to see what has come out in the last few years that might be better.

I have to laugh because a about 2 years ago I read an article and it said that it was easier to move, than to get rid of Oxalis. While I haven't found it that hard, I do regret not staying on top of the situation and letting it get this bad!

But with the price of real estate these days, moving is not an option!

Talk to you soon -
