Thanks Tim, but I'm still against using chemicals of any kind in this area. The only thing I would insist on spraying is the bindweed, but it hasn't started growing yet. I do appreciate the information though. I'm actually wanting the bindweed to start growing, which I never thought I would say. I do want to spray it before smothering the lawn. Luckily, there isn't much of it yet, and it seems to be taking its time growing this year.
