    Anyone have any advice on this as I'm in the same boat?

    I have Gallup 360 for my driveway but that would kill the grass too so need something else.

    I have a .75 acre site with a lot of lawn.

    Dicophar works well for me. Particularly on buttercup, dandelion, etc.

    Vinegar does work supposedly but might not be practical or economical for large areas, probably handy for small gardens.

    I bought 5 litres of Hygrass during the week for 37 euro. I estimate I used about 400ml for a single dose of the entire lawn. Works out at just under 3 euro. I doubt I could do the whole lawn with a dilution of vinegar that was effective for less.

    I use Goulding's lawn feed, weed and moss killer a few times a year and it works very well
