The Garden Frog with C Renee on Feb 07, 2016Without chemicals - you buy thick black plastic (9mil or thicker) and cover the area for the sun to 'cook' the weed seeds and the plants. I would start now and in full sun by the time you are ready to garden you may have had tiime to cook the soil. Weed seeds can stay dormant for years. Good luckHelpful Reply

Janet Pizaro on Feb 07, 2016You will have to smother them out with heavy black plastic. If the ground is soft enough I would turn it over as soon as possible to get a jump start before the weeds take over even more.Helpful Reply

Taffetal on Feb 07, 2016That is a lovely ground cover - in the right place, like between flat stones on walkways, etc. Sell it!Helpful Reply

M on Feb 07, 2016I used a dandelion weed remover to remove the QA Lace that was growing in my yard. You can also add layers of newspaper instead of black plastic with the added benefit of the paper composting into the soil.Helpful Reply

Victoria Howard on Feb 07, 2016I just pull them out or dig 'em up. We have tons of it too. I leave some, as I think it's pretty. It's wild carrot here, REAL QA Lace is supposed to have a bit of red on the underside, purporting to be a drop of Queen Anne's blood.Helpful Reply

Kar4453348 on Feb 07, 2016WARNING --- Just a word of caution --- the Poison Hemlock is a Queen Anne's Lace look-a-like but it is POISON and will cause paralysis and death if eaten. The main difference between the two is the leafstalk on the Poison Hemlock is hairless, however, Queen Anne's Lace stalks are hairy.. Also the Poison Hemlock is ill-scented when bruised, Queen Anne's Lace's white root smells like a carrot.Helpful Reply

Conniesampson16 on Feb 08, 2016I have a field of it and cold doesn't help a bit! This has survived years of as much as 52 degrees F below zero.. It dies back and grass takes over to become a lawn each year. I love it as memories of my childhood on grannie's farm. Meanwhile - try really dousing it with vinegar or boiling water. I brush weed killer onto weeds with a paint brush when I feel I need to use a chemical.Helpful Reply

DORLIS on Feb 09, 2016i AM BATTLING IT AS i USED BAGS OF GARDEN SOIL THAT WERE FULL OF WEED SEED INCLUDING qUEEN ANNE'S LACE. IT IS PRETTY, BUT ALL THOSE SEEDS. FIRST THING IS TO PULL THE YOUNG PLANTS, WHEN IT MATURES, IT HAS A DEEP TAPROOT. VINEGAR AND DAWN AT THE ROOT DOES THE TRICK MOST OF THE TIME. YOU MAY NEED ANOTHER DOSE TO FINISH IT OFF.Helpful Reply
