We've just got our first house and with it came a lot of new challenges in the shape of gardening.
One issue I have not managed to solve is weeds in our lawn.
I have been ripping these things out of the lawn a lot (see pic in post) but I feel like I can't win. There are big patches where you can hardly see the grass.
I know not everyone want the perfect grassy lawn, and I don't need perfection. But these things are growing and spreading at an alarming rate. I need to do something about them.
Where we are at now, I feel like we are past the point of ripping them up one by one. We need some wider, more effective solution.
What are these and how do I fight them in scale?

I'm fairly certain that is plantain, but I'm not sure which species. Cornell has a good breakdown of species and how to deal with them towards the bottom
