Can anyone put a name to this weed, which is slowly taking over my lawn...



Even better, does anyone have any advice on getting rid of it?

Thanks in advance

Horsegrass I think. If it is it's a bugger to get rid of.

I agree with that it seems to ring a bell, had the same problem with the bloody stuff for years.

My removal method was Greenthumb.

If it is, then a couple of doses with a decent lawn weedkiller should get rid of most of it.

Thanks chaps. Just Googled some pictures of Yarrow and this does appear to be what I'm dealing with.
