Is there a sure-fire way to get rid of Creeping Charley?
spray soapy water, also use ladybugs
If this included snails, place a small dish of beer in your garden and yes it really works.
I use diatomaceous earth. You can get it at the feed store or at garden centers. It's a white powder made from diatom skeletons. When bugs (and slugs/snails) crawl on it, the body of the critter is scratched and they dry out pretty fast. When I sprinkle it on my garden, bugs and snails are gone by the next day!
food grade diatomaceous earth
Thanks. I'm assuming you can get that at a garden store?
