Its really hard to eradicate this stuff!! It grows so quick (underground) in all directions. I tried digging it up for a while, but didn't work. I thought by killing an area at a time, maybe I would nip it in the butt, but no. My two neighbors have the stuff, and crawls to my lawn. I eventually bought St Augustine plugs, and planted them (resembles the look of torpedo) and gave up. I went to the Annex on 466, and they said the only way to get rid of it, was to kill whole area, and some. They suggested to use killer twice to really penetrate in ground. Torpedo can grow deep. I let the torpedo win. Maybe some day they will invent a submarine that can work under ground and eradicate this weed, by sending out torpedo's to kill it away!!
