So for the past 18 months this weed that's kind of like a clover but not has been spreading all over my side yard.  At first I just ignored it because I thought the winter would kill it dead and I could just spray in the spring to keep it from coming back but I was wrong.  That shit just came back stronger than ever and it now threatens to take over that entire part of my yard.  I thought that the leaves from the fall would at least kill some of it, but it turns out this particular weed grows in moist shady areas.  

And thanks to my yard having trees that are older than the dirt they grow there is plenty of shade to grow.  In fact there's so much shade that huge parts of my yard are now dieing off because not enough sunlight penetrates for the grass to grow.  I have to say it's pretty awesome to be mowing when you hit a large patch of dirt and the mower just blows a ton of dust up in front of you that you now have to walk through and breathe in.  But I digress, this isn't about how I have too many trees in my yard but can't cut any of them down because the trees are the most valuable part of my property, this is about how I'm trying to kill that bastard weed.
