How can I get rid of chickweed?

Have you tried this homemade weed killer? https://thekitchengarten.com/diy-weed-killer/ Or a torch for weeds?

We tried a natural remedy last year without much success but this year are trying this from Ortho. https://www.ortho.com/en-us/library/your-lawn/chickweed

Hello there,

Pull it up or burn it off. Should not be hard to do..........

We had an invasion of chickweed four years ago and it threatened to take over our yard. Unfortunately, any attempts to eradicate it made the yard look worse. Although I would offer a natural remedy for this; nothing we tried worked except for hiring a professional lawn service.

Sometimes you have to keep at it. I've found with some weeds you really have to dig down to make sure you get the root. Darn weeds grow while we wait for the lawn to green up.

THIS formula works, I've used it, on very stubborn trumpet vines, oregano and mint:

1 gal vinegar (30 % acidity) Horticultural vinegar - shop around can get $20-$25 per gal.

2 cups of Epsom salt

1/4 cup of dawn dish soap (used this much in 1/2 gal. also)

Mix well because the salt takes a while

to dissolve - use in sprayer.

Good for trumpet vine, mint, oregano and

other invasive plants.

I mixed half a batch, might be easier to mix the Epsom salt in approx. 1/4 cup boiling water to

make sure it dissolves easier.

Here's several ideas

It's expensive but bug spray kills it.
