How to rid lawn of violets without chemicals?
Our neighbor has bees, so we have to be careful what we use on our lawn. We have an overabundance of violets this year. We have 2 acres that we mow and treat.
Does anyone know how to get rid of wild violets in a safe manner so as to not kill any bees?

Vickie,
We have a nextdoor neighbor who has nothing but violets and weeds which creep over into our yard (my husband doesn't like weeds) here are some good ideas- and the violets you have and I get from my neighbor are not like the violets we grow indoors at all they are weeds and grow too fast
