Easier on the ground worms and baby birds to just dig the violets
out or crowd them out with new grass seed/sod. Herbicides will prevent your
using grass clippings in your compost .. .

Wild violets are -really- hard to control, I've seen them come
back after using roundup. You can try a more selective control
and use repeat applications, 7 to 10 days apart.

Here's a link to one of the better retail herbicides for the
hard to kill variety's.

Good luck.


I second this. I've had very little luck w/ herbicides on field violets.
I'd
hire the kids to dig 'em out.
