I dont really do anything about weeds anymore. I let the dandelions do their things. I have some patches of crab grass but it doesnt bother me. The clover doesnt grow very high but when it is full bloom you can tell when it is walked on in high traffic. We have wild turkeys too and they will roost on the clover and it leaves imprints in the ground but it springs back after a day or so.
I couldn't find a source for this, but I heard that we were convinced to think of dandelions as weeds by the makers of a herbicide so that we would accept the collateral damage.
Lol, you don't put Roundup on your lawn unless you don't want a lawn anymore.
2,4D is the stuff that kills "weeds" but not grass.
Oh ok, I must have remembered wrong. I edited to be less specific.
