please someone help me, these weeds seem to have come out of nowhere but are spreading very fast 😞 front and back lawns are being affected and it’s seems like there is a never ending lot of them. What are they? Is there something in particular that causes them? How do I treat them? And is there a way to try prevent them? So grateful for any help thank you
Hi @davo2102
Those weeds look like you every day Kikuyu grass.
Is that your lawn in the photos as it is kikuyu too just the shorter mown look. Kikuyu will send out those vigorous taller runners in to the dirt patches to multiple.
Generally you have to poison the whole section to kill them off once they invade then let you lawn take over that spot. Or you can dig up some of your lawn and transplant it in spots to fast trck the process.
If the kikuyu has dropped seed then you will have many more pop up sorry to say all you can do is daily pull the same ones out 1 min a day to win that war.
