Getting rid of weeds on the lawn

London, United Kingdom Gb

Thank you all very much for your help in the soil question - i did have clay but all the weeds are now out!

Now my problem is the lawn. I have managed to get a lawn mower over it over the weekend.
I do want to 're-do' the garden but what with the expense of moving I think I can only afford a 'tidy' garden this year, so re turfing isn’t really an option this year. I would really like to make the most of the lawn we have at the moment but it has a lot of weeds and what looks like clover?!? Any ideas on getting the grass back? I think I might have a problem with moss too according to a neighbour this is because the garden is NE facing so the left side of the garden is very shady.

Verdone I find is the best on the lawns I have. Around £12 a litre at Garden centres. Apply between April and August.

Jeez, Doc. Where do you do your shopping? I bought 3 litres yesterday for £10.99. (unless of course, you use a different formulation).

I've got quite a few weeds too, Dannielle, lol.

Llew, are you sure you are talking Verdone.
Around £12 a litre at garden centres. I buy bulk trade on all my sundries, I won't tell you what I pay. I can't quote for all over the country.

Yes, Doc. A 3 litre bottle thing with a spray gun attached. Verdone Extra. Honest injun, lol.

Llew, A 3 litre bottle with a spray gun will not be concentrated, just ready for use. Concentrated is 15ml. to 5 litres of water as Nstressful said, but as he buys the 250ml. smaller size it will work out more expensive.

Of course, lol.
No, mine is not concentrated. Doh!!

phew now i feel better. i only have a small area to treat so that size was enough for me. oh and i a she lol

Sorry, Nstressful, won't make that mistake again, sometimes it's difficult to tell by the names.
