I am attaching photos of a section of our lawn that contains creeping buttercup and possibly clover. The lawn is about half an acre and is covered in the stuff but this is the worst section. I was planning on spraying Dicophar on the grass sometime from April onwards but am unsure of the process. Do you have to rake the dead weeds after a couple of weeks or does it wither away and are you left with bare patches that need to be reseeded (having multi colored patches of different grass could be the case then)? We have a robotic lawnmower so I don't collect any grass after cutting, some websites say to collect the first few cuttings after spraying. Regarding fertiliser, is 7-6-17 too strong for the remaining grass afterwards and for the newly seeded grass? Any advice is appreciated, thanks
