    Hi Everyone,

    Over the last 2 years we have seen this uwanted beasty start to take over our entire lawn and now garden. I am wondering what it is ... and how one might go about getting it under control.

    Thanks for any help.

    Once established, buttercups are difficult to control in a lawn. The only way I managed to eradicate it from a relatively small area was to dig up that portion of the lawn and reseed it. In the garden, normal cultivation seems to keep it under control.
