2-4-D is the answer to the weed problem.
What weed problem? Looks like maybe dandelion? Unless it is poison ivy, I would just keep mowing regularly. Looks fine to me. But I like dandelion and clover, so I may be biased!

I’ll need to bootleg some back from the states next time I go. “Cosmetic” pesticides are banned here for environmental reasons. As Larry said, it doesn’t really bother me, might think about something in the spring but right now just going to keep it mowed and wait for it to dry up and get snowed on.

Understand. Can't help ya with that my friend. Too far south and the shine runner is out of gas LOLz.

Thanks for the offer but I’ll manage. The border is open now and lots of people are back and forth if I need. I’m off to Austin Texas in a week but doubt I’ll be anywhere to get some.

Looks like small broadleaf issues Larry. @Mastermind recommendation looks spot on. That stuff works and won't kill the grass. Granulated or spray form.
I am just not a fan of the stuff. I don't care if people use it, I just don't. Time will tell if it causes health issues. I used to give the "Scott's" lawn care guys grief when they came to my house to sell their services. I would ask them if they think my lawn looks like s-word? The stammering and tap dancing was pretty funny.

I understand why it, and gly-phosphate are used by farmers, I just think is creating new problems. I may be wrong.

Welp, It's not Atrazine Larry. Dat stuff is very unfriendly. I'm no botanist for sure. I guess beating up on the turf guys is better than rolling in a ditch with your neighbor. Although you can add me to the ditch club as this past spring. Pretty embarrassing when my wife yells out for I need to call the police LOLz.

I am no botanist or chemist either. I just don't know what is in any of that stuff. I remember the stories about agent orange from back in Vietnam, no, I was a 2-7 year old. But the defoliant they used back then has been shown to cause cancer. There is also a theory that roundup causes non-hodgkins lymphoma. A cancer! May be vicious rumors, who knows. I would rather not find out, so I refuse to use anything like it. I am also not trying to make a living off my farm, like others are. So not judging either.

I don't plan to move from here ever, so neighbor relations is something I work to keep pleasant. Was supposed to dove hunt today, neighbors told me be there between 12 and 12:15. Load up and head over. Nobody there. Called neighbor, they cancelled until Monday due to weather. Didn't bother to call me and let me know. Didn't apologize for forgetting. Taking my time to simmer down before any further interacting with them. Great neighbors, just inconsiderate occasionally. Walking it off, hard to do sometimes. Going to give it some time, as saying things when you are irritated doesn't usually make things better. Lol

O hear ya and definitely not judging you my friend.
Didn't think you were Tim. Just giving my reasons is all. I appreciate all of you guys. Good group, even @dall and his dodge loving neighbors.

Kid that I was going to swap vehicles called me as he thinks he has a better offer. I told him no problem, I will keep the Honda. I could tell he was upset calling me, I told him I made no commitment and he should do what is best for him. So looks like no '96 F250 for me. I am stuck with this Chevy for now. Lol. Still waiting on an adapter so I can check fuel pressure. Apparently it is on back order.
