How can I kill little purple and yellow weeds and not kill the grass?

Looking for a great product to kill weeds and not the grass.?

• Do you of any great weed killer products?

• Answer:

  The homeowner has a couple of choices at your local home & garden center. One is a hose-end herbicide applicator atop a bottle of product. You basically are looking for 'selective' or 'broadleaf'. Selective means the herbicide only works on 'leafy' weeds and not "grassy" weeds. Clover, Dandelions, English Daisies are all examples of broadleaf weeds. Read the label before using it. Another option is spreading a weed 'n feed granular product from a fertilizer spreader. Again read the directions. They will tell you to apply this material when the turf is wet. Sometimes, early morning dew is adequate otherwise flip on your irrigation system for 5 minutes. This will allow the fertilizer to "stick" to the weeds and transfer the chemical onto the leaf and into the plant resulting in death TO WEEDS ONLY. :) Be careful with the plants around the lawn as squirting, or applying the weed n' feed over them will KILL them too!!!!
