| It would probably help your lawn to get rid of all the pine needles too. |

| R repens likes moisture and compacted soils. It spreads by stolons, like a strawberry, and because it is low growing it avoids the mower blades. If you can improve the conditions for the grass the buttercup will be less of a problem. Looks as if you have a bramble seedling there too so a good scarifying and aeration might help. |
