Here's what I have tried:
- Weed killer.
- Hours pulling weeds up by the roots.
- rock. paper. scissors.
- shoveling large sections of weedy spots.
- more weed killer.
- planting grass seed.
- watching birds eat the seed.
- flailing my arms wildly and running at the birds.
- watering.
- pulling weeds.
- trudging through muddy spots or jumping from one 3cm grass patch to the next one 6 feet away - Olympic style with a water hose and shovel in tow.
- a menacing stare at the new stickers/weeds that weren't there yesterday...
What's a girl to do?

ever hear of zero-scape and an in-ground pool? i've heard it's what all ya'll do down there where it's hot all the time. (fyi: it's almost April and we've yet to see 50 degrees!)
and if you're not into the pool thing with small children (reminded of the well issue) then you may want to invest in that rubber playground stuff! lol
This is probably complete malarky, but...
We hardly ever do anything about our weeds but we love on our grass like crazy. Water it, fertilize it, talk to it. And slowly, I do mean SLOWLY, it is choking out the weeds. Maybe that's an option. Do some weed control, but focus on the good patches of grass.
Does this look like it could be analogy for how to deal with life -focus on the good things and they'll choke out the bad. Hmm. Who knew I could be so philosophical when posed a question about stickers.
You can write your name in your yard with round-up. You're welcome. I know I was very helpful.
Move to Arlington???
Well, it was worth a shot...

and i got nothing.
just a bunch of jokes and jenny's philosophy.
