    I have rotovated and reseeded a 1 acre lawn. I reseeded approx 4 weeks ago with good new growth. However its also getting infested with chickweed. Anyone any suggestions on how to remove. Since there is 1 acre Its out of the question to get on hands and knees! Doxstar says do not apply with knapsack sprayer....

    Does anyone have any suggestions please?

    Chickens are the best way to get it out apparently (if that's an option). It's very hard to remove once established and you probably reactivated a loss of it by rotavating. The stuff is a curse.
