this crap? its all over my lawn!


Creeping Charlie also put out a ton of seeds.

Couple of years ago I used an ice cream bucket lid
with a 1/2" hole in the center and then cut the
lid from the outside to the hole.

I then pulled the charlie vines out from the grass to form
a clump still attached to the root. The lid went under
the clump and was sprayed with roundup.

Grass lived charlie died and then seeds did not
get back into the lawn as they were colledted on
the lid.

A lot of work. My lawn looked like something from nasa
for a while. Maybe that's way the neighboors stopped
talking to me, ya think?
