Creeping charlie can be an invasive weed that can be difficult to keep out of lawns and other areas. Brian and Darren Hefty share their advice for getting it under control.
My lawn is comprised of Creeping Charlie, wild strawberries, ajuga, clover and lots of other stuff like some grass. Have never understood the appeal for a lawn that looks like a carpet (grass) but has absolutely no benefits to nature. I love watching all the pollinators grazing happily in my garden(s)... knowing that I'm not destroying the ecosystem.
Destroying the ecosystem 🤣 Creeping Charlie is a invasive plant brought here from Europe thats taken over i have it my yard because a old witch used to live here and using it as medicine
i actually starting purposely propagating and sperading these on my property because the bees love them and I've always thought the purple flowers were pretty and the leaves look like little hearts, lol I even potted some up and made a houseplant out of them. they are by far my favorite "weeds"
Would like to know who chose the bladed grasses as good ground cover when keeping them is such a hassle. Creeping charlie grows natural in my area. Rename it and call it desirable and the problem is solved without the poisoned ground water and air. : )
Finally somebody gets it. All these lawn nuts are feeding and watering their lawn then cutting it because, god forbid, it grows taller than 3." Turf needs to be dethatched for continued health and since they never let it go to seed, it needs occasional reseeding. Then they potentially have to dump harmful chemicals on it for weed and pest control.
Leave it alone. Along with speedwell, creeping charlie is one of the first flowers honeybees seek in the spring. Enjoy the tiny flowers & keep those lawn chemicals away from your family & out of our water. Why do you need a grass-only lawn unless you're a professional croquet player?

@@AgPhD right on 👍 Different weeds would take different ammo. 2 4 d would be the standard weapon in your sprayer but upgrades would include Quinclorac, sedgehammer etc. Glyphosate would be the ultimate power upgrade weapon. Azoxystrobin and prop for the fungus. Start out with a two gallon pump sprayer and keep building your arsenal. The lawn community deserves this game!

What is the AgPhD comment on the use of T-Zone herbicide? I don't want to go to soundcloud. Please let us know what you think of Ryan Knorr's use of T-Zone.

Creeping Charlie is one my favorite weeds, I just let it go in my lawn and at least understand control in the flower garden. I doesn't really hurt anything.
@@BLEACH366 so many organic options when it comes to fertilizers. No reason to contaminated the water and water wildlife with toxic unnecessary fertilizer. Growing the right crop on the right soil is a method that or ancestors did, today's generation seems to have missed
@@brettmason1942 like i said keep messing around with farmers and our food they are ready to ring the necks of people like you they are paying 3 times as much for fertilizer and had to cut back so less food now
I don't care for it, and the deer won't eat it. But I do eat the chickweed, purslane, garlic mustard, dandelion, hairy bittercress, violets, and plantain grass, of which I pull and compost 95% of it and the remaining 5% is more than enough. I compost all the creeping charlie I come across. If you lived nearby I'd gladly hand you a bushel. I'm not interested in applying any of these poisons though.
Love that you’re spraying a high rate of roundup, in jeans and a sweatshirt and and no mask and the mist was clearly blowing back onto you in the video. SMH.
@@Twobarpsi East. I purchased a bag of iron for the lawn and spread like you would fertilizer and the CC just did not grow. You could see where I ran out. It will last a few years with one application.
@@larrybe2900 ah ok, same location as me. Depending on what zone you're in certain treatments are more or less effective. Seems like it will work! It's almost impossible to kill with a herbicide.
@@Twobarpsi Yes, there may have been new products since I investigated for myself some years ago but I try to go the natural route if at all possible. Broad leaf weeds really do a number on a lawn. This worked fine and with the exception for the weight of the bag it was an easy application. Spread and done.
I find it sadly hilarious that you are more worried about volitation harming trees rather than you or anyone else who has to inhale the stench that comes off newly treated lawns.
