CREEPING CHARLIE IS TAKING OVER MY YARD. HELP! WHAT DO I DO? |
Creeping Charlie (Glechoma hederacea) can be a real pest. Many gardeners have had good luck eradicating the plant by mixing 10 ounces 20-Mule Team Borax in 2-1/2 gallons of water and applying the mixture to their lawn. The boron doesn't affect the grass, but overwhelms the roots of creeping Charlie. Cool weather reduces its effectiveness so apply now when the weather is warm. The University of Minnesota and Iowa State University have tested this recipe and report good results. |
