Because you usually have to give it a couple of treatments a year if you don't want it to come back and £20 buys about 5 years of iron sulphate (which will kill other weeds and grew up the lawn as well), £10 buys about 2-3 years of weedol and lawn fertiliser isn't expensive either.Why don’t you get Green Thumb in to treat your lawn. My dad pays around £20 for a visit and they treat the lawn without the hassle TheFragranceGuy mentions.
The price might have changed now due to cost of living, etc.

I wouldn't argue about the pro's and con's of Green Thumbs reputation but can only speak as I find and my dad's lawn looks immaculate since he's had them in to treat it. He's 88 now and struggles to look after the lawn himself and relies on my nephew to cut it for him. He's happy to pay what they charge and isn't short of a bob or two.Because you usually have to give it a couple of treatments a year if you don't want it to come back and £20 buys about 5 years of iron sulphate (which will kill other weeds and grew up the lawn as well), £10 buys about 2-3 years of weedol and lawn fertiliser isn't expensive either.
Green thumb don't have the best rep on lawn care sites, a bit like taking your bike to Halfords for a repair. It's generally done on a subscription model and a one off visit won't do majority of people any good if they're not going to keep on top of it and if you're going to keep on top of it you might as well do it in the first place unless you want to pay them £20 a month for a flying visit
Concrete.
A flame thrower for moss on the lawn?I've got a sort of flame thrower device that I bought for just that purpose. I thought it might provide some interest for the grandkids when they come around. Surprisingly, I haven't got around to having a go yet.
I should add it's mainly for weeds between cobbles. I've nothing against moss. I've not much of a problem with weeds either really. Live and let live.
Didn't we establish that it's a seven iron for a wasps nest? Or slash on it, but through your letter box? Can't remember now.A flame thrower for moss on the lawn?
For a wasps nest maybe.
