Weeds in Lawn

    Looks just like mine. Mow it if you want it to look green all over.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Here are a few photographs of my lawn.  As you can see it is riddled with weeds: dandelions, clover, moss… everything!

    Do I have any hope of resurrecting this?!  I’d welcome any ideas!

    I have children running and crawling about, so I’m reluctant to use chemicals.

    Thanks - mowing does help for a time.  I could manually pull out the dandelions, but I feel that could well be a futile exercise.

    That's a joy for wildlife. Teach the kids about insects and the ecosystem. You are right to shun chemicals

    With all those dandelion flowers you could make a great wine.

    Decide what you want, and go for that.  We can offer help on how to get their, but where to go is up to you.
