Dear grassclippings,

RE: Should I remove or kill 'blind' daffodils in my lawn?

A customer of mine has a lawn planted with a long swathe of daffodils which do not flower. They have been planted quite deeply (6 inches or so - could this be why they don't flower?) so digging them up will be quite a task.

Q: must I dig up each one by hand with a trowel or spade and re-fill the holes with topsoil and grass seed? As this will take ages!

Or could I apply a broadleaf weedkiller to kill them (and the dandelions that have also colonised the swathe) without killing the grass?

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks,
Mr Jolly.
