mind your own business

I have what I think is "mind your own business" that is taking over my lawn. Back end of winter I put on feed and weed  which only worked in patches where there was concentrated pellets and that killed the grass as well. I also keep Koi so I'm very wary of contamination to the pond. I'm only a beginner at gardening so would welcome suggestions. Thanksimage

    Can you post a picture Alan to help us identify the pesky plant?

    You were absolutely right in thinking it was Mind-Your-Own-Business Alan and unfortunately it is extremely difficult to control in lawns as it is resistant to all herbicides we have access to.

    It's green and it doesn't need mowing. Maybe you don't need plastic grassimage
