I'm having some difficulties finding pictures of a weed that is
difficult to irradiate in my lawn. It grows on wirey stems with light
green fleshy leaves. The leaves have a smooth edge and pointed. The
small white flowers have four petals. It grows flat, on top of the
grass, and the mower blades miss this weed. Handpulling just breaks
the plant off at the base, and it quickly grows back in a week. It
grows in full sun. I control it by painting it with RoundUp, but that
is laborious. Unlike most weeds, it does not mind growing on top of a
thickly planted lawn. Any ideas what this could be? Thanks

No ID, but it sounds like a candidate for some broadleaf spray, which
would be less laborious than individual RoundUp treatment. I have
something similar, and just haven't been able to find a small
hand-sprayer of Weed-b-gon to treat it.

I've tried Spectricide and Weed-B-Gone. They are effective with two
or three applications on this particular weed. I've been fighting
this weed for many years, and now I yank them out (break them off)
while I mow and out them into a plastic bag. I'd like to learn more
about this weed, but not having identified it makes it difficult to
find on the web. I thought it is knotweed or pigweed (the leaves look
like a pig's ear). I'm patient and still searching. Anyone know
about a good web site for weed identification?
