New house Garden

Hi all, I bought a new house with a large garden, I cut and raked the grass to get ready for my robo lawn mower for a nice green lawn. but what is this in the picture and how do I get rid off them? They are all over the lawn.

 

Hi @Brian_Murphy it's difficult to see what they are, but I think I see some leaves on very long stems. That means it's not a grass, and if you want to use selective lawn "feed and weed" treatment, it should get rid of them.

 

With that length of stem, whatever it is, I would have thought that mowing it a few times would sort it out without using chemicals...

 

I'd agree that mowing regularly - and importantly, not cutting too short, will help.
A general feed will help too - something like a liquid seaweed, but without knowing what those plants are, it's difficult to judge the best solution. A single application of a weed and feed [only in suitable conditions] will probably help, but it depends how you feel about it.
A lot depends on the general climate you have @Brian_Murphy , and the condition of the grass before you cut it for the first time. If it was very long, and it got scalped, the grass will be a bit weaker to start off with, but that could improve enormously just with cutting little and often and the odd feed. If you're in a very dry area, it's always better to leave grass a bit longer, whereas in wet areas, it's much easier to keep it green and growing.
