How do I control weeds in the lawn?
Most weeds can be controlled by growing healthy grass. Make sure the pH is right for your grass. Mow, fertilize, and water to improve the number of grass plants and decrease the number of weeds. Herbicides can be used to control weeds, but should be used as a last resort. If there are only a few weeds, pull them by hand, or hoe them out.
