    I need to know the name of this lawn weed. If I know the name I can get
    rid of the weed effectively. This is a common lawn weed. It spreads as
    a creeper.

    Thanks. Bill S.

    It appears to be oxalis (O. corniculata). It is somewhat hard to tell
    from the photo. If the flowers have five petals and resemble a star
    and the leaves resemble clover, then it is indeed oxalis.

    When I see oxalis in my garden, I dig it out with a paring knife. It is important to get the entire plant. As it grows, new roots form along
    the runners. Thus, just pulling it does not work.

    An herbicide based on ammonium thiosulfate will kill it but not kill its
    seeds. That herbicide also kills spotted spurge (Chamaesyce maculata,
    aka Euphorbia maculata) another creeping weed, but generally does not
    damage other plants except for junipers (genus Juniperus) unless it has
    been improperly mixed too strongly. The herbicide quickly decomposes
    into a nitrogenous fertilizer.

    I sure couldn't tell from that tiny picture,
    even after blowing it up.

    I just used Tenacity (Mesotrione) for the second year.
    Good stuff, it kills 46 broad leaf weeds.
    Got the Oxalis, wild violets, nut grass.
    It seems like it only stunned the clover.

    The lawn looks much better this year.

    if it is oxalis it is a pretty difficult weed to
    eradicate without using some digging or chemicals.
    i don't use sprays on the lawn or gardens here so
    when we had this weed show up and take over some
    gardens it took me some time to get it mostly
    under control (there's some still around but many
    fewer than before).

    the important thing for me was to dig fairly
    deep holes and to scrap the top layer of soil
    with the roots and plants into the holes and to
    bury it. this was done before most of the flowers
    had set seeds so that kept a lot of the next
    generation from having an easy start. that was
    last year, this year in that same garden i use
    a stirrup hoe to scrape the surface so any
    remaining plants cannot spread or drop seeds and
    there are only a few of them in there. which i'm
    just now finally getting back to weeding the
    whole thing so there are going to be some pods
    and seeds. those pods have a lot of very very
    tiny seeds in them.
