killing creeping charlie weeds

15 years ago

Creeping Charlie or "Glechoma hederacea"- which i think is the correct name has a strong hold in my yard- any suggestions on killing this weed would be greatly appreciated. Fast methods would be my preference. Thanks.

The first step in controlling "Glechoma hederacea" is to have a good, reliable soil test done. Contact the local offic of your state universities USDA Cooperative Extension Service about having that done. "Glechoma hederacea" grows most bestest in compacted soils, soils with low levels of organic matter. Work on correcting the problems the soil has and these "weeds" will be less of a problem.

The only thing that I found that works on "Creeping Charlie" is Weed-B-Gone Max. It has to be Max. You might have to spray it a couple of times.
