Dollar weed
 

Any way to get rid of this stuff? It's taking over my back yard. I know
it loves over-watering , but I haven't even started watering yet. We
haven't had much sunshine either (NW Florida). Maybe that'll help dry
things up a bit...

Because of your locale, are you *positive* it's /Hydrocotyle spp./ and NOT
/Dichondra/? If you look at the underside of the leaf, where does the stem
attach (center, or near the edge of the leaf)?

What type of turfgrass do you have?


Pretty sure it's Hydrocotyle spp - stem attaches to the center of the
leaf. Turf is St. Augustine.

2,4-D is out then. it'll kill your grass. Atrizine was the perferred quick kill
for /Hydrocotyle/ in St. Augustine turf, but it's been banned for homeowner's
use (though it's still used by commercial applicators).

Look for a product called "Image" (Imazaquin). It's not real speedy, but it's
safe on your particular turf (provided the grass is healthy and actively
growing), and it works.

Very good! Thanks for the help, I appreciate it!

Just start rolling it and smoking it and the police will come and pull
it all up.
