My sod is turning into a creepy round leaf low growing weed that is everywhere including my flower bed and most of my sod front and side and now getting into my neighbour's hedge and her grass and spreading into my back grass. I pull a lot of it out but that does not stop it. HELP!!!

    Spectracide makes an herbicide that can be sprayed on the lawn and will only target broad leaf plants/weeds. Just make sure you get the right one; the one for lawns that targets broad leaf plants. You can't use it on the hedge though. Those will have to be pulled by hand.

    It grows by another plant off the roots. In the garden it will be easier to pull or dig up. If you keep it cleaned out six inches from the garden it will be easier to get it when it starts traveling back in to the garden and are able to get it at the edge. Pull it off the hedge and try not to pull leaves. Inetia is right about the lawn, unless you want to try to pull or dig up all the weeds by hand.

    Sounds like dollar weed and it's a real pain. I use weed killer made by Bayers (found at Home Depot). It was suggested to me and it works great. I treated my entire yard and no more dollar weeds.
