the only thing that works on creeping charlie is a chemical called weed free zone. use it only on the weed but won't hurt the grass.Helpful Reply -

I was dealing with Creeping Charlie in my yard a few years ago. My whole lawn was taken over with only a few spots of grass. I thought I lost my lawn. I tried everything possible but nothing was working. Finally I tried Spectracide Weed Stop and it worked. Got the concentrate, mixed it up in a garden sprayer. Sprayed the lawn and within a few days the Charlie was wilting and eventually my lawn grew back in. Now I just spot spray when I see Charlie.Helpful Reply -

You can also try sprinkling borax on the creeping charlie- it'll kill it. Good luck!Helpful Reply- See 1 previous

I would probably try the chemicals intended to kill just weeds and not lawn... borax will kill everything!here's a site that talks about it: homeguides.sfgate.com/boric-acid-kill-lawn-84483.htmlHelpful Reply -

I have a small yard and I do the boiling water method, bu that may be too time consuming or cumbersome for you. I hear you about the weeds, it is a constant battle! And I am not fond of chemicals as I have too many pets, not safe for them.Helpful Reply -

Have you tried vinegar? It works on almost everything for me. I'll never buy weed killer again.Helpful Reply- See 1 previous

Well I am glad to know the name of that stuff that has taken over the back acre of my lawn! I can't mow it because the sap, for want of a better name, sprays all over and after one pass I cannot see to drive the z-track! Eyes swollen, nose running like a faucet, etc. With a name maybe I can get rid of it! Thank you all!Helpful Reply -

How does the saying go? One man, trash is another's treasure. But one man's weed is a potted plant to another. I used to have hanging plants of Creeping Charlie. They make beautiful house plants in Southern California. Mother Nature has never made weeds, it is man's idea of what a plant should be that makes it a weed or not.Helpful Reply -

No moat, just a spray bottle and a little time and effort on your part.Helpful Reply -

I wanted to update this because I bought sheet metal, cut it into 1 foot tall sections and buried into the yard right in front of my fence, I added the Borax mixture behind the sheet metal and it's been 2 months since I did this, I have only found 2 new spots of Creeping Charlie since then. I dug them up after pouring boiling water on them. I meant it when I said i was going Captain Ahab on this stuff. So far, so good. I was worried that the sheet metal would look horrible by the fence but at this point, it's not visible due to the Hostas growing there. They are of the Godzilla variety and grow to be 3 feet tall. I've been planting grass seed in all of the bare spots, and new grass is growing nicely. I am hoping to have beaten this beastly plant or at the very least gotten it to a point where it's manageable to get rid. 3 years ago, my yard was 75% Creeping Charlie and now it's just about gone. Hurrah for the good fight!Helpful Reply -

Great Morning reading. I believe the squirrels are bringing it over from the neighbor's yard and planting it in mine. I have random spots where the Charlie wants to grow. It's kind of a game for me when I start mowing the lawn I spend more time working on my Charlie that I do on the grass.Helpful Reply -
