I have violets taking over my lawn. Any thoughts on how to stop them would be appreciated. Larry

Wild violets are -really- hard to control, I've seen them come back after using roundup. You can try a more selective control and use repeat applications, 7 to 10 days apart.
Here's a link to one of the better retail herbicides for the hard to kill variety's.

luck.
I second this. I've had very little luck w/ herbicides on field violets. I'd hire the kids to dig 'em out.

Easier on the ground worms and baby birds to just dig the violets out or crowd them out with new grass seed/sod. Herbicides will prevent your using grass clippings in your compost .. .
