I guess not. Ours don't get that large or invasive. Just scattered plants.
Just regular mowing keeps them pretty much in check.
If I had yours, I might be putting on some 2,4D.

2-4-D, the 48% from your local C0-Op 0r farm store, not Home Dept. or the like.
Just keep it away from the flowers, wives don't seem to like that.

Pick the greens, fry them in ba con grease, add some vinegar and eat them Cicoria. But skip the bacon grease.

Right on.
So, "mouse eared.." Something or another? We're getting over run by a small clover like weed as well. It's not as bothersome as the dandelions but it still don't belong.
Something clever here.

I never worried about dandelions other than to make some wine out of.
But I do want to know more about the car in your avatar. Am I right in thinking it's a '64 Galaxy XL? My cousins got one with a 390 and a 4 speed. It's a screamer.

This is a DOW Chemical product, see your local farm supply store. Works great on the dandelions and even thistle in my lawn.
Curtail® M Herbicide
Curtail® M herbicide translocates to the roots of stubborn perennial weeds, providing outstanding control of Canada thistle. In addition, Curtail M also controls many annual broadleaf species, such as wild mustard, wild buckwheat, pigweed, lambsquarters, volunteer sunflower and more. Curtail M contains clopyralid and MCPA, and it is helpful for small grains growers who want the superior crop tolerance offered by MCPA in their weed control programs, but still require powerful broadleaf weed control.

Years ago I had about 3/4 acre of lawn that was full of dandelions. Local place sold me some concentrate (don't remember what) but also sold me some blue dye to put in with it once I'd mixed up a batch. Using a hand sprayer, I hit each dandelion. The blue dye was a real help in being able to tell which plants had been treated from those I had missed.

Weed n feed seems to be a cruel joke, what is the secret to getting rid of the yellow lawn weeds? Didn't read any posts other than what the OP asked. The answer is Trimec Classic. with about 26% 2,4-D. Buy a gallon jug for about $55 and get a good hand sprayer or if you have a large yard, a 10-25 gallon pull behind sprayer. 3 oz per gallon of water. I have over an acre and hand spray every day in the early growing season. Right now I have very few growing and I'm surrounded by fields and pastures of yellow flowers. Persistence is the key. Oh and it won't kill the grass.

Dave if you are doing the yard just get some weed be gone.
it comes in a bottle that has a hose attachment on it.
Just screw on the garden hose and turn it on,water the yard and it will get them.
Works for diacondria(just think i sent spell check into spasms). This is easiest. Ortho weed b gone is 2, 4-D by the way. Best to catch the weeds when they're young and growing. I was getting out the hose this weekend to spray the lawn and the wife asked "what are you doing?" So I replied "getting ready to spray for weeds," to which she replied " but we don't have any weeds," to which I replied "that's right." Weed B gone is a mix of 2,4_D, MCPP, and Dicamba. If you have tomatoes or grapes nearby be careful of wind and volatility drift. especially because of the dicamba component.

Seriously? You OBVIOUSLY don't have the Carolina broadleaf variety. They will literally spread to over 1 foot in diameter, before long there is ZERO grass and nothing but the boardleaf's.
Are you talking about the Carolina geranium? That stuff should be on the FBI's most wanted list. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.eattheweeds.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/ca9a1d.jpg) Had that stuff at my Gma's place and it got out of hand. Killed half the Bermuda off in 2 years. Had to use roundup early in the year while the Bermuda was dormant to kill the Carolina geranium, then apply heavy fertilizer to the Bermuda to fill in the remaining bare dirt spots..

If you have an average size suburban lawn, I'd pick the flowers to keep them from going to seed and spot treat with Weed-B-Gone. If your neighbors don't use herbicides to control dandelions, you're job of spot, stalk, and treat will never end. One of my neighbors has small children and a dog, so he doesn't use herbicides on his lawn, nor does he use a dandelion fork to remove them, so his lawn is more weed than grass.

The trick with many herbicides is to spray the evening before a hot day, at least 80' F. Sometimes hard to do in the northern states before dandelions go to seed. In cooler weather you need a stronger mix.
