Lawn Care Advice Please

I'm not sure if the term 'lawn' really applies but the back and side gardens are laid mainly to grass, including the rabbit's runs. I don't cut the grass in the runs but do mow the rest. Have to truthful and say I haven't kept up with the maintenance of the lawns and as a result there are lots of weeds amongst the grass. The seeds get blown in on the wind so it's an on going thing. I don't mind the dandelions as buns love them and the daisies are just pretty to look at but would like to get rid of the other weeds. I have bought a box of lawn seed,a box of weed killer and a box of lawn feed (which also contains a weed killer ).

Advice on what to do next would be appreciated

 

Are your rabbits going to be near where you are going to apply the herbicide and will they be on the area that you treat?
I'm pretty sure the weed killer you have will kill of dandy and daisy as they normal contain a mix of chemicals to tackle as many weeds as possible.
There should be instructions on the packet regarding pets but you don't want bunny eating herbicide to be honest.

 

I was going to treat the non rabbit areas with the weed killer and use salt in the runs. I was also thinking of treating the runs one area at a time, I have something I can use to cover the area to prevent.buns getting at it.

 

I always tend to play safe with herbicides and pets. It's best to keep them away from the weed until it's gone completely, not just shrivelled up but gone so that there is no weed visible. This can take quite a few weeks and in some cases over a month.
A hint to how long herbicides can rest in plants can be found on the composting instructions. Some have a long length of time before compost can be used if the material treated is added to a compost.

 

As I said I intend to cover the areas being treated so the buns cannot get to it at all. I was going to do this with the non rabbit areas too as don't want the wildlife exposed to pesticides either.
