Help how do I kill creeping charlie? it's really aggressive.?

DON'T PULL IT! You will make more plants. Go to your garden center or greenhouse NOT HOME DEPOT or LOWE'S and ask them. I use a Bayer product with trimec. It has to be spread in the proper weather 2X. They will have the stuff and all the advice you need.

The problem is your focusing on the things in life that don't really matter. When I was a kid I had hopes and dreams. We all did. But over time, the daily grind gets in the way and you miss the things that really matter, even though they are right in front of you, staring you in the face. I think the next time you should ask yourself "Am I on the right track here?". I don't mean to be rude but people like you I really pity. So maybe you could use the few brain cells you have and take advantage of the knowledge I have given you now. Good luck.
Reply:Pull, pull and pull some more if it's around plants that you don't want to kill. The more roots you pull up, the better, and dispose of the pieces you pull up - I swear it roots itself overnight. If it's in an area that you can spray, use a glyphosate solution (commonly sold at garden centers as Round-Up), or spray with a solution of 4 parts apple cider vinegar to 1 part water. Both spray solutions are non-selective (they will kill whatever they come in contact with), but will do a good job on ol' creepy chuck, as I call this invader! The vinegar solution is especially good in a sunny spot. If you want to spray around important plants, you can put some spray solution in a cup and brush it on the plants with a paint brush so as not to get overspray on desirable plants. Pull up the dead creeping charlie and check in a month or two to make sure you didn't miss any. Good Luck!!
Reply:Nickwoot, what question arr you trying to answer. To some people gardening and keeping a nice looking yard IS important! Creeping Charlie is a very aggressive weed ! My sister had it so thickly meshed in her lawn that she had to hire on the application of a special chemical solution by a professional. GOOD LUCK !
