ᐅ Lawn Renovation with Excessive Weed Growth. What Are the Next Steps?

With almost 450m2 (4844 sq ft), I am not going to start pulling weeds by hand.

Don’t be like that. I have 2000

I’ve given up. My partner wanted a lawn along the field edge, while I preferred a wildflower meadow that requires less frequent mowing. For three years now, I’ve been on my knees removing weeds from the cursed lawn. Nature spreads its abundance of species faster than I can keep up. Every time, I fill the holes afterward.
In autumn, I also plant an early crocus in each hole. It looks lovely in late winter and has finished blooming before mowing is needed. This summer, I decided not to keep fighting nature just to satisfy my partner’s wish. Green is green, and once he has mowed, it looks good enough. I only prevent thistles, nettles, and bindweed from growing tall.

Best regards,
Gabriele

Especially if it is his wish, why doesn’t he weed on his knees?!

Good decision! @fach1werk

Then get used to the view. Honestly, a lawn also requires maintenance, and if there are weeds, you can kill them with chemicals, but you still have to collect them afterwards.

Our lawn is now almost free of weeds.
The fertilizer makes it grow so much that it’s becoming less enjoyable!
In the picture, you can see the lawn, which was mowed 3 days ago!!
