Nettles in the middle of my "lawn"
« on: March 03, 2011, 13:21 »
Is it possible to get a selective weedkiller which will leave my grass alone, but kill off the nettle?

I've tried mowing as reagularly as i can, but the nettle just seems to have spread.  If I dig it up I'm going to end up with a massive crater in the middle of my front grass (darn't call it a lawn lol)

Assuming that the EU ain't banned it you can get selective weedkiller for lawns ;)

edit to correct silly spelling ::)

Great, something else on my list for when the temperature decides to increase above zero again!

Be careful what you do with the lawn mowings though!  If you put them on the compost heap you could be giving yourself an aminopyralid type problem.
