How can I get rid of Creeping Charlie, a weed, in my lawn?

Question

Wisconsin lawn

Answer 1

Mix 5 teaspoons of borax and 1 quart water. Mix it exactly: too little and it won't kill the Creeping Charlie, too much and you could kill your grass. Using a pump bottle, spray on the weeds. This mixture won't kill dandelions and other weeds but will get rid of Creeping Charlie. If you see some yellowing in the surrounding grass after you've sprayed, mow it frequently and it should color up within 6 weeks. Always try to use environmentally safe products. Our planet needs our help. I hope this helps.

Answer 2

Answer 3

I lived in MI and bought a house that the lawn was 80 percent creeping charlie, this is how we got rid of MOST of it. Use only weed killer, weed and feed just FEEDS, after application and the weed leaves start to turn brown use a lawn rake and rake up the weed. We pulled up big piles of it. Than reaaply weed killer. This is somewhat labor intensive but it works. We did that all spring and in the summer/fall put down lawn seed and by next spring had a nice lawn. GOOD LUCK
