    Hello peeps!

    I've discovered a whole load of strange weeds in part of my lawn. I'm not sure what they are. Any ideas, anyone? For scale, the biggest leaves on the plant are only 2cm long. Also, what's the best advice for getting rid of it? I don't want to use weedkiller, since there are some weeds in my lawn that I actually like.

    Its common chickweed robt, there is no need to spray to get rid of this. It doesn't tolerate regular close mowing - thats all you have to do. :thumb:
