    I have a lawn thats peppered with daisys and dandelions at the moment.
    There is some grass but the weeds have well and truly taken over.
    Obvioulsy i'm far too lazy to rotivate the lot and start agian so is there any product that will kill the weeds and leave the grass intact?
    Also when can i sow more grass seed after treatment?

    You need a selective weed killer that will kill broadleaf plants but not narrow leafed ones.

    Keep it away from you flowers, trees, pets, children, etc.

    You'll need to read the instructions, but I imagine you could sow again once the weeds have started to die off.

    You need something like Feed & Weed (feeds the lawn, kills the weeds), there are lots of brands in B&Q, Woodies etc.
    The instructions will tell you when you can reseed afterwards.
