You are probably very close to a good time to use some broad leaf weed
control like Weed-B-Gone. Get them just as they begin actively growing.
Be sure to follow the directions carefully. This stuff can be toxic but
I don't think there have been any serious problems if used correctly.
Ground Ivy may require spot treatment after a couple of weeks.

You will need multiple applications of a broadleaf weed killer. I'd wack it
as soon as it started up and then twice again, waiting 2 weeks in between
each application. A liquid normally is more effective than a granular.

Hey Jim,
Have you tried some goat urine? I hear that works well too.....
