Removing Weeds, How To
Our font yard is finished, the back is not. I is all dirt ... with weeds. The weeds grew last year, we had them all removed. Now it's spring and here they are, coming back with a vengeance. They're in thee just coming up stage, nice and small and green.
I am asking for some advice in getting rid of the weeds, but not ruin the soil for grass?
Thank you

This last weekend I mixed up a and filled a back pack sprayer with 1 gallon of white vinegar, 1 cup of salt and 1 tablespoon of Dawn. Spray in the morning on a sunny day. The sun will help cook the weeds. I reapply every few weeks. (seems like more often in mid spring and early summer). But we have about an acre so I might use a little more then most people.
Do not use vinegar, salt, or liquid soap. It will kill everything and the soil will be contaminated for any growth. I use Spectracide Weed and Feed in the hose end spray bottle to kill lawn weeds and fertilize the grass. You can use it to kill the weeds and it will actually fertilize the soil ready for seed or sod. You should see kill results in a few days.
Overseed with clover! Stays green and low and doesn’t need fertilizer.
Go ahead and plant a choking grass seed. You can add weed & feed which will help to nourish the grass while getting rid of the weeds. Check with locals to see what would be the best grass for your area.

Hello. my lawn is infested with weeds too it is an ongoing war.
Sometimes in certain situations people choose to leave with live within like in a rural situation or waterfront- sometimes chemicals can cause harm with their runoff. It is said that a weed is just a plant in the wrong place.
Here is an overview of ideas to help control weeds.
I hope this helps
Prevent going to seed; hand pulls easily. Do not compost plants with seed heads.
In Lawns
The best way is to plant something to crowd out the weeds. Try clover it works great and you don't have to mow.
