Default roundup-application

I've been away from my lawn for two years and these are the two prevalent
remaining weeds in my yard- nutgrass (nutsedge) and ground ivy (creeping
charlie). I have a good stand of bermuda grass going-but it really takes
a little more heat than what we have been having to make the bermuda
happy. The nutgrass and ground ivy are more sporadic than prevalent which
is why I'd be willing to do the sponge (contact) method with the roundup.
I was hoping (with the proper dilution) that just a touch of this wicked
roundup-brush would kill nutgrass and ground ivy down to the root. And in
the meantime I am trying to "accentuate the positive" -fertilizing and
watering the bermuda to encourage growth and have a "thick healthy lawn
so I won't have a weed problem".

While all this sounds good and well the bottom line is if you have a
thick healthy lawn you won't have a weed problem.


Healthy lawns get weeds too. Try the selective control first.
