[quote=Anonymous]Well, I think it actualy makes sense to allow some weeds to grow, as they are both green and grass like.  For us, the thing we can't control is clover.  It drives me nuts as the flowers attract the bees from the beekeeper a block away, but the proffesional landscaper from Merrifield told us that some people plant clover on purpose instead of grass (so if that makes you feel better).

Have you tried corn gluten?  When my husband did it annually it helped with the weeds - all but the clover - which is why we have so much.  But maybe it would help with your white weeds next year.  I think what gets us is that you have to apply really early spring, and we always forget until it it too late.

As far as does the neighbor have a right to complain - is it a weed that spreads very easily?  Our neighbor lets these big huge weeds (as in 3 feet tall) grow, and they spread like wildfire.  I just had to tear out several bushes because her weeds took them over.  But, I figure that goes with urban living (small yards).  But its hard for me to picture a weed that grows in the grass to be a big spreader (unless it has some shoots underground like a vine thing).[/quote]
