Any help will be much appreciated.
How do I eliminate creeping charlie weeds from my garden?
You need a good weed killer, one that kills anything but grass. Weed B Gone will work. Spray it on according to directions being careful not to let it drift onto anything like flowers, bushes, or trees (it WILL kill them!). In a few days you'll see results but you will have to spray one more time at least to be rid of Charlie.
In a garden it is more difficult than in a lawn. You can try to pull them but it is usually only a very temporary fix. You might wait till after harvesting your garden and then spray it, or try spraying in the early spring after it turns green but before you plant your garden. Another way is to cover your garden plants with plastic milk jugs with the bottom cut out. It takes alot of time and effort but might work in a smaller garden that doesn't have too many plants. Good Luck!
Reply:I wish I knew the answer! I've been gardening 40 years and I'm still battling it! The only way I find to get it out safely is just good old fashioned labor, pulling it out!
Do like the English do and tell everyone it's ground cover!!
Reply:layers of newspaper 7 to 9 thick, cover with mulch or place a few heavy items (bricks, rocks...) on the paper so it doesn't blow away.
