Does anyone know how to kill and keep dollarweed out of a garden? I have mulch down and use Preen, but it just keeps coming back. HELP!!

I don't use chemicals, so my only defense is hand pulling the runners when they encroach on the veggie garden perimeter. Don't have an issue with them in the garden itself. The lawn is a totally different story. :(

Round up and an old paint brush or one of those throw away spongy ones. Make round up and put in bucket and use brush/sponge and paint on so as not to disturb other plantings. Takes a couple sessions, but it worked for me.

I successfully got rid of it in my Saint Augustine lawn with Ortho's Weed B Gone for Southern Lawns.

There are several kinds of weeds it didn't work on, but the Dollar grass is gone and the Saint Augustine is doing fine.

Be sure to read the instructions because I've seen people get in trouble using it. For example, if you mix it too strongly or use it in the heat of summer, it will take out your Saint Augustine too.
