We used weed killer to get it out of our lawn, but it's completely choking the ground in our bushes, which are all around our yard's perimeter. Pulling it by hand is worthless; it just grows back. UGH! How do we kill off the creeping charlie without killing off our bushes?
How to get rid of creeping charlie???
I got a product with trimec and it worked. The charlie isn't completely gone, but much less than last year. It should only be sprayed in June when the plants are in full flower and growing well. You need 2 applications. I used the Bayer product. The trimec is the secret. Garden centers and greenhouses have many to choose from.
Reply:Small infestations can be controlled through hand weeding; repeated weeding is required because the plant is rhizomatous and will continue to spread from its roots or bits of stem which reroot.
Glechoma is unusually sensitive to boron, and can be killed by applying Twenty-Mule-Team Borax (sodium tetraborate) in solution. The ratio is eight to ten ounces of Borax dissolved in four ounces of warm water, diluted to 2.5 U.S. gallons of final solution, to be sprayed evenly over precisely 1,000 square feet (100 m²) of lawn "no more, no less". Note that despite being a "natural" treatment, boron is toxic to other plants and to animals at only slightly higher concentrations and, being an element, does not break down; therefore the long term effects of this technique on soil or groundwater, although not well documented, can be assumed to be unfavorable.
