What type of Weed? I pay SCOTTS each month and keep pulling this weed

Douglas Hunt on Jul 21, 2014Could be Virginia buttonweed, which is very difficult to control. Your spray tech should be able to tell you exactly what he is using. If he can't or won't or gives you some mumbo-jumbo about it being "proprietary," get a new service that believes in transparency.Helpful Reply

Steph C on Jul 21, 2014Stop paying for chemicals that are going to destroy the water table and eventually all weeds will become immune. The best herbicide is vinegar with salt and a dash of Dawn dishwashing detergent, if you REALLY feel the need to eradicate plant life. I kill poison ivy with it and I pull Virginia creeper and wild grapes. Some of the root systems on these weeds run so deep and so far you will never get rid of them completely. I think that weed is rather pretty, maybe pot it so it doesnt get out of control.Helpful Reply

Julie @ Southern Wild Design on Jan 04, 2015It is Virginia buttonweed. It spreads by rhizomes. You must dig it up to get rid of it.Helpful Reply

Gini on May 19, 2015Southern Wild you are the expert, but while in Idaho and dealing with a difficult side yard, a landscaper told us not to dig up. You don't get all the roots and it it keeps coming back. Kill it. May take several times using a plant killer. What are your feelings on this?Helpful Reply
