There isn't anything home made that you can spray that will harm one but not the other. Preen products can do this. The other option is a vinegar weed killer applied with something small like an eye dropper.
There is nothing but to hand pull out weekly and mulch.
Hi Jessica,
I use vinegar in a spray bottle in a very targeted way in my garden. So far, my plants are fine. Just be sure you get it on the weeds, not on the plants. Do it on a day that is not windy because the wind can carry the vinegar to the plants. Even if a little touches a plant leaf, it won't kill the whole plant, but do be careful. Wishing you the best.
HI Jessica!
Here are some ideas! Good luck to you.
