Weed
This weed has taken over our garden and growing between
the expansion strip areas in our driveway. What can I do to control this? https://www.talkofthevillages.com/fo...1&d=1690373157 |

Spray it with Roundup. Buy a container from Lowes that has a battery powered sprayer attached. Very easy to use.

I just pull them out (slowly) by the roots. They eventually grow back, or pop up in other spots. But it's a satisfying sensation to pull them by hand, to me.

Use a watering can when using 'Big Boy' weedkillers.
Drift from spraying can take out the good guys as well. ( Say's the guy who once killed a whole border spraying in a hardly noticeable breeze!) |

One year in Wisconsin my wife's nephew fertilized his lawn with his tractor, his sister's and his father's
lawn using weed killer. All the lawns looked great the year after. |

Back in the day a little gasoline did the trick. Don't have a gas can now, so its Roudup.

That weed is called spurge. It goes to seed rapidly. I pull by hand if in the lawn; spray with Round Up if in the beds or in the cracks of the walk or drive way.

My last name is Weed...this thread is killing me!
Of English/Irish descent and the Weed surname is presenting more and more interesting challenges. My daughter-in-law when picking up g'kids at preschool had to put the placard "Weed Pickup" on the dash. Interesting reactions. My g'kids have adapted versions of Weed on their social media posts to cope. It's a pain.

Use Green Gobbler 20 or 30% vinegar available from ZORO.com The vinegar will decimate weeds. It is quite caustic and cannot be applied on a breezy day or other landscaping plants will get burned also. Wear gloves and eye protection. Very effective on weeds.
