I currently am being overrun with orange hawkweed in my lawn and don't know what to do. Does anyone have suggestions please.

    At this time of year I find it best to tackle the larger plants with glyphosate gel and mow regularly to prevent seeding - in late September/early I do my regular autumn lawncare (scarifying and moss-killing) and then in the spring use a 3 in 1 or 4 in 1 Spring lawn treatment - this includes a weedkiller which gets most of the the little ******* !!! 

    That keeps it pretty much under control, but I have to do it every year as the seeds blow in from elsewhere  image
