Yard full of weeds.....lost!!

14 years ago

Hi there

I am new to Canada and have recently moved to a house in Brantford which has a hugs backyard.Unfortunately the previous owners did not tend for it at all and all I have now is a yard full of weeds. I can only identify Clovers and dandilions amongst those.I asked for professional help but they gave up saying they have never seen anything like this before. I am very busy with work but am willing to take time out to try and fix this problem.Can someone please tell me what I need to do and what time of the year since I am new to the country and have no idea about gardens/yards:(

I do know I shud be pulling the weeds out and then outting some fertiliser and reseeding but wud appreciate if someone can give me time line for the same.

thanks

Victori

What kind of herbicides are available to you in Canada? It is my understanding that most are prohibited.
