rteets, your garden is lovely! I was wondering if the flowers next to the fountain are Wood's Pink Asters? In size and color they look exactly like my asters. I've attached a photo of my asters the first year I planted them (2012) and now they are twice as big with only using organic fertilizer as you do.

JustinKent83, perhaps you can try adding greensand to your lawn. I added some greensand to a yellow patch of my lawn and the grass there grew rapidly. The greensand didn't completely solve the problem but helped significantly. Also, I agree with others posters to just go out for a few minutes once week and manually remove the biggest weeds because it's an inexpensive way to solve most of the problem. - DoGooder
