regardless, any broadleaf weed treatment should help. go to your local garden center - bring a piece with you - and they should be able to direct you to the correct product.
Thanks, I shall try that as a last attempt since I don't want to harm the earthworms

I dunno the weeds name, but it's a weed here too. I notice your lawn is not thick and lush where the foto was taken. A bit thin really. If it was in a healthier condition and regularly mown long, it would out compete that weed. Looks like you may have a thatch problem and possibly a Ph correction is required. A hit of dolomite and mowing the lawn longer may in fact be half the problem solved. Just a thought but if you get the lawn going strong, the problem will go. There are people on here more knowledgeable than me who hopefully will give more explicit advice.
Thanks, the lawn isn't as healthy as it should be since there has been a lack of rain and hot weather(107 to 110 Fahrenheit here) in South Africa. I will try and get some dolomite and set the lawnmower a tad bit higher

Hadeda,
When the weed flowers can you re~post a picture??
That may help in the weed identification..
(To me, if it gets white flowers, looks like
chickweed)
But repost the picture for us..
Hopefully someone will come thru with knowing it and how to erradicate it for you..
If no one has, post here and I will move it to Mystery, and someone may know what it is there...
(I think you're more than likely to get it identified in the Lawn Section first..)
(and p/s could your post your pictures at 480 x 640. Makes it easier to view photos' so they don't go off the page for some..)
Sure thing
, I'll take a few photos when it flowers and resize them as soon as they flower but I noticed when I pull them up they got quite a long root
