We have a huge front and back yard, that is absolutely infested with weeds. We tried many different weed killers, some don't do anything, others not only kill the weeds but kill the lawn and we have spots in the yard now that look burnt up. Help?

We are not being lazy...both my fiance and I have really bad backs from injuries sustained from a car accident and it is very hard for us to bend over or do any strenuous physical activity. Sometimes I can barely walk. Having this huge yard has been an extreme physical challenge for us. (I inherited this house from my mom when she passed away last year.)

I could be a Weisenheimer and suggest you go out there and start pulling them, but then there are some chemical applications that kill the weeds but not the grass. Many home improvement stores have a variety of choices. Orhto has "Greensweep Weed and Feed' also has "Weed-B-Gone", there's Spectricide's 'Weed Stop'. Some kill more weeds than others. A good application would be to start with one product and wait a week then apply another product to hopefully cover a broader spectrum of weed killing. Like start with 'Weed and Feed' then go over it again if need be with 'Weed-B-Gone' a week later. Be careful not to apply in the middle of a hot day, though. You may end up burning your grass. Either early morning (best), or late afternoon. I've seen a commercail on TV where these 2 guys use different products on their weeds in the grass. One fries his grass along with the weeds, the other still has a lawn left after the application. :)

Pull them by hand. Identify weed and apply an appropriate pesticide according to the label. Ask you extension horticulturalist or a nursery/garden store employee for help.

you can use pesticides but they are really frowned upon these days. some organic products available at most hardware stores help somewhat. in addition to using them you can just dig up individual weeds and frequently resoil and reseed your lawn
good luck.
