Ready to take a flamethrower to certain sections of my lawn.
Should I care, or just accept it as a fact of life and move on?

(2,535 posts)I applied a herbicide I got from the local hardware store. We have a couple of guys that pull big tanks of herbicide around and spray peoples lawns VERY early in the spring. They kill existing weeds and pre-emergence. I will probably call these guys next year. Its about $50 and works but every year I think I can do it myself.
