My timing today has been good. I managed to time the dog walk so we didn't get rained on, and I just managed to weed the front yard in between showers too. I have now removed all visible weeds from the front lawn and the worst of the weeds from the nature strip (focusing on the bindi and other prickly things). I also dug up a few patches of the lawn grass to divide and transplant into a dead corner, which may have been killed by overspray of weedkiller from adjacent paths or may just be out of the pattern the automatic sprinklers reach. The dead root system of the turf in that corner should act as a fairly good weedmat, I just tucked the grass between sheets of that and it will get a layer of topdressing soil and some fertilizer and hopefully fill in the dead corner with good grass.
