    What's your weather like 2026

    Rain overnight (just shy of 3mm), after a couple of dry but cool and breezy days. Forecast brighter this afternoon but it doesn't look very promising at the moment.

    Field woodruff in my lawn

    Is it not killed by normal weed and feed products? But I would agree in making the lawn less susceptible by improving the conditions for the grass over the weeds.
