How I can control weeds?
How to control weeds When you have a lawn it is of prime importance to maintain it. You must mow it, water it and also add fertilizer in order to have healthy grass. In case you neglect any of these it won't take long for weeds to grow and spoil your garden's good looks. In case your lawn has a threat from weeds you need to control it. Remove bigger plants of weeds before they flower Weeds spread through their seeds most often. Therefore, when you remove them at early stages you will eliminate the possibility of their spreading through seeds. Dandelion is one of the common weeds that could be eliminated this way. Apply weedicide to remove small weeds There are commercial weedicides that will destroy weeds in your lawn without harming its grass. Since there are granular and liquid types of weedicides you need to choose the right one and apply according to instructions appearing on the label. If you add too much, grass also could die. Applying too little will not be effective in controlling weeds. Cutting the grass to control weeds Cut your grass regularly and cut them to a height of 2.5 inches. In case you cut it to a lesser height it is easier for the weeds to grow. Watering Watering should be done two or three times a week depending on the weather. When you water, do that to the extent that roots also get enough of it. leaving an empty tuna can in the middle of your lawn and stopping watering when the can is full is a good way to do that. Fertilizing It is necessary to fertilize most gardens three or four times a year. Choose the appropriate fertilizer for the variety of grass you have in your lawn. When you do so, grass will grow better than weeds and that also will help eliminate weeds.

Dichondra is a very hardy ground cover used in landscaping. It's difficult to start and maintain. Where grass was hard to grow in the south west in the 50's and 60's it was used as lawn "grass" Your standard broadleaf weed control for lawns should help to control this...but like violets..it may take several sprayings about every 14 days

Can you recommend a weed killer that is safe to use on your lawn but does not act as a feed for the lawn?
Boiling Water I've never tried boiling water but I suspect that this will only kill the leaves leaving the root intact. If you don't kill the root the weed will re-grow. The solution will depend on whether you are treating broadleaf weeds (Dandelion) or grassy weeds. I would recommend products like Ortho Weed-B-Gone which comes in different types. You can spray directly on the weed without damaging the grass. Or you can use a spreader to evenly spread granular weed killer on your lawn. I think the reason some products are a combination of weed killer and fertilizer is that the fertilizer helps promote a healthier, fuller lawn which in turn chokes out weeds.
