War on weeds
If I had a choice, my whole lawn would be dug up and planted into flower gardens.
But respecting the fact that my children like to have room to run, jump and play, I have left quite a bit of lawn for them to do just those things. That being said, my lawn isn’t the highlight of my yard but we are working on putting it right. I have had problems in the past with creeping Charlie but the battle has been successful and we are winning, though it is a slow process.
In getting rid of the creeping Charlie, the dandelions and other lawn weeds are trying to take its place. So we have been working against the next onslaught of lawn weeds while trying to reseed those bare areas that are left after getting rid of Charlie.
Now before I get into trouble with the rest of you who have been trying to get rid of Creeping Charlie, let me say one thing.
