need to kill off all the clover n other weeds that have infested it and made it unwalkable in bare feet.

Don’t know about ausland laws but burgerland has broadleaf herbicides. They kill stuff like weeds and clover while the real grass remains untouched. Its a spray or a lot of lawn fertilizers (usually called ‘weed control’ or similar) have it mixed in as pellets with the real fertilizer pellets. I’ve only used the spray. Then you rake the dead plants out, add nice black soil to bare spots if needed, throw seed on it and water.

yeah we've got that, but the stuff we have will work on 3-4 types of grases, but kill 1-2 types of grasses.... hence why i need to know which one this one.

Ah, okay. Is there enough budget and time to do the whole lawn if you nuke it by accident? Starting from square one, it’ll be easy to get a nice uniform lawn.

Sedges have edges grasses are flat
Cyperacae (sedges) are very difficult to identify to species.

well, spray a small box and see if it kills it in 2 weeks.
