I just want you to know that I used this method on my front lawn, which was pretty much taken over by this weed. Moved into this house 4 years ago and I’m just now giving the outside of my house the much needed attention it needs. I treated it about a month and a half ago, and with consistent mowing, watering and upkeep, this weed has withered and died and my lawn has turned a beautiful dark green! Long way to go still but conquering this invasive weed is a huge accomplishment. God bless you!!
Hey bud, I’m watching this 8 years after your posting. I just finished spraying TZone on my tall fescue (MD) and wow ground ivy is tenacious. I’ll get some Borax for the next dosage. I want it gone from my lawn!!!
I want to let you know that I think you are a genius. I have a couple of "professional" lawn care service companies one out only to tell me that there is NOTHING that can be done. I tried your recipe and the Creeping Charlie is dying. Thank you so very much.
VERY helpful! I just did my sprayings over the past 2 days. Now hoping and expecting great results after feeling demoralized by this lawn plague for over 20 years! Notes to those who may be having trouble applying the instructions in the video: First, my spray bottle kept getting its nozzle plugged with the diluted Borax mix. Using hot water from my tap took care of that issue. Second, based on the 5 oz per gallon ratio given in the video, I calculated 5 teaspoons per 20 ounces of water for my spray bottle (I first filled to the 20 oz mark, then mixed in the 5 tsp of Borax powder).
Lawn Care Nut: Love your informative and easy to understand videos! Question: When is it safe to put fertilizer on the lawn? Prior, during or after Borax is working? Last year Team Turf charged me $80 to kill this ivy. No results whatsoever! I was ripped off! I hope your method works for me.
Since I have such a large lawn in my backyard that is covered in creeping charlie, is there something else I can use besides the spray bottle. I feel like it will take me forever if I used that.
3 gallon sprayer, a drop of dish soap or surfactant, and the mist nozzle would work just fine. my echo comes with an adjustable nozzle to make a finer mist.
I've been pulling them one by one, section by section of my yard for almost 2 months (few hours every other day/weekend) and I have a huge front yard. My back problem seems to be gone now. There is still a small section left to tackle. I always reseed the spot when I'm done. A lot of time spent but definitely worth it! I just have to keep my lawn thick and dense to keep neighbor's uncared lawn from creeping in or should I just grab a jug of gasoline and pour all over their lawn covered by creeping charlies? lol
Awesome, I followed this and all weeds are now dried out. I have not watered my lawn yet, and it’s been about 8 days now. What do you recommend for next steps? I had so many weeds that there are many larger areas where they “dried out”. Will the existing grass eventually recover this area? Thanks!
I have this nastiness in my lawn. I have NO idea where it came from. I have a couple of problems with your game plan. First, I loive in The South and we tend to get thunderstorms nearly every afternoon. so, we can't do a treatment that relies on drying out. Second, I have little or no grass in my yard. I'm all about flowers and shrubs and vegetables. but, that has given the Creeping Charlie the opportunity to take over everywhere the sun shines and anything other than grass has been in the past. it really is to the point now that half of my front yard is completely covered in this and it is attacking my butterfly bushes (which are large and mature and woody but theya re still sugffering) this stuff is suffocating everything in my yard and it HAS to go! any suggestions?
Couple of questiins> I have a 1-acre lawn, can I use a larger lawn sprayer for the Borax step? Also, should this be done before or after fertilizing the lawn? If so how far apart? I have been using Weed & Feed for the past few years and have been unimpressed with the results. Thanks.
I comment a lot in others videos yet here I comment again in your video , creeping Charlie is natural foods make drinks make salad make stirred fried or make soup together with the roots
I'm really excited to try this. I've been in my house 4 years and the previous owners pretty much let it fully establish. It's a large area so hopefully can find a better option than the hand atomizer :)
@@markh6465 I can only guess they might interfere with each other, hence the instruction to allow the borax to dry before applying the weed killer. I was able to do it this past weekend... hoping for good results (any results)
@@frankandrusiewicz3296 I SUSPECT that the concentrated salt (borax) has a dehydrating effect until it is fully dried. Its residue will then be rehydrated with application of a water-based herbicide and become effective again then. And of course, the herbicide has to be absorbed in order to be effective so the dehydrated state of the plants facilitates that.
I don't know how well this will work long term. The reason creeping Charlie is so hard to kill is its rooting system. The rhizomes are like runners under the ground. So even tho you're killing the stuff on top, the roots are harder to kill. But hey.. I have creeping charlie also so it's worth a try..
Is this also known as ground ivy? What I have has a leave that looks the same. It grows in a net like configuration. I am so glad I found your videos. I am a big user of sodium borate anyways. I use it laundry and to clean. It is an excellent mold inhibitor. I am thinking of misting it on my roof to eradicate some moss that grows on the shingles. Man, you have been a real help.
love borax too, but if you have moss on your shingles, it might mean they're starting to fail, and probably letting water through. Copper will inhibit moss growth, we just bidded out our roof replacement and now manufacturers incorporate copper particles into the shingles to ward off moss.
thanks....I'm going to try this. I've been fighting this darn stuff for 20+ years. It always comes back. I was using a commercial 2-4D-trimec mixture. I hate using chemicals, but with this stuff you almost have to. Will try your borax 'recipe'. Thanks
I tried this on my neighbors lawn at 2 areas and it worked great! But I told him and he didn't want me to spray it all over because of his small kids. Thanks so much!
Sir, my New house is overgrown with English Ivy, under the porch, advancing up trees and home. As you know the roots are tenacious so will this formula work? I am hesitant re. the second step of using a chemical. Trying to do this without use of chemicals. Not worried about lawn as there is little lawn so to speak. enjoyed the videos . thanks.
Thank you for the video. I will give this a try. My only question is, you said not to water but I know we have a bunch of rain on the way over the next couple weeks. Should I wait until mid summer or just get it done now?? Thanks
Hello, how can I get rid of the creeping charlie if I have no choice but to irrigate? I got brand new sod two months ago and it needs water, but in some areas creeping charlie has taken over. I tried Killex (two treatments) and no effect. I did mix in a little bit of dish soap since I heard that will help get through the waxy leaves surface, but will instead try your borax solution next instead. But I am doing this in the fall so it will be wet with lots of rain. Or should I wait until spring? Thank you for your videos btw - they give me hope, since re-sodding is not an option (just done) and Killex by itself didnt work!
i REALLY need to know how long after application can i then RESEED. i read tons of comments and i dont see where you answer that question! this is important as new seeding time is coming up REALLY quickly!! plese please respond
Is it safe to use this in my flowerbed? I have stellas and that's where the majority of our creeping charlie is and it's all wrapped around my stellas.
Hello nice tutorials. I need to stand off my neighbors Zoysia grass which is creeping towards my lawn. Do you have any suggestions. I don't want Zoysia grass.
That was awesome man! I had this problem for two summer and couldn't get rid of it. I am gonna kick those creeping charlie out of my lawn after watching your video!
Hi Allyn, I have followed your videos in the past, such as how to dominate your neighbor and now ready to attack the clover that has invaded my lawn. I appreciate your videos and just subscribed to your channel. Thank you.
Can dicamba harm surrounding trees via root uptake? I see you've treated near 2 young trees in your parkway. Did you see any negative effects? What are your recommendations for using 3-way (2,4-D + quinclorac + dicamba) treatments near trees in the lawn?
If you have newly planted trees, then avoid the drip line with the herbicide. Established trees will tolerate the presence of dicamba in the root zone quite well provided that you do not make excessive repeat applications. Even newly planted trees will have an acceptable tolerance within reason.
My neighbor has this weed (creeping Charlie) really bad but he doesn't do anything about and in the last 3-4 years it has crept its way into mine. Already got the Borax and the spray containers. Just cut the lawn. I'm gonna kill me some creeping Charlie.TY
Having Creeping Charlie in my 2nd year old new sodded lawn. Worried about the borax and weed killer killing the existing lawn... Also it is now mid June and I live in Colorado...Not sure I can go 5 weeks without watering at all. Is this time a year safe to do your two steps? If I do your steps and water occasionally during the rest of the summer will I still get same results?
Could do step one (borax), but there are pretty strict pesticide application laws/restrictions in Ontario. Creeping Charlie is becoming the 'new lawn'. ;)
I have this same problem, it's everywhere and I have about a 1/3 acre lawn. using the little spray bottle is just not going to cut it. What are my options?
Do I apply the method for creeping charlie before I begin following the lawn care schedule you posted or will the weed preventive take care of this problem also
Kim Alexander you can do this at the same time as you do the regular lawn care schedule. Just make sure you are not throwing any grass seed in the areas where the Creeping Charlie is. (the weed control will kill the grass seed as it germinates)
could you use a hand pump sprayer if you have a big coverage area of creeping Charlie? There is no grass its basically a blanketed area that stuff in a portion of the yard.
I did and it worked like charm. I had way too much creeping charlie to use the spray bottle method. Just take your time and use the fan tip nozzle. Good luck!
I have this and something that has smaller leaves and are more round instead of clover shaped. This worked on the charly but didn’t even touch the other stuff. Anyone know what it is?
I have a lot of creeping charlie and was hoping I could do this. But I also have rabbits and frogs and toads and snakes and get my water from a well so anything with 2-4d won't cut it for me.
I'm here in Illinois and i do have creeping charlie on back side side of my lawn. But the ones that I really hate are dandelions and I have them even with a thick lawn. If you have any tips on getting rid of them.
My area is also much too large to spray the Borox with a spray bottle. I would have cramps in my hand for a week. Could I get a fine enough mist with an Ortho sprayer and a fan tip nozzle? Also would this same method work to kill these darn snow on the mountain plants that are taking over in all my mulch bedding around my trees and house? Thanks.
The home depot HDX pump sprayer is $8 bucks, get that and adjust the nozzle, it gives a pretty fine mist, almost as fine as a spray bottle. You can use it for the borax and then switch it out to your weed killer concentrate
what's wrong with the sound? part 1 was perfect, but this one has very clear music but the voice is so muffled i cant hear anything he said. if i dont know what part 2 is, then the creeping charlie is just going to return. please fix!
Also my front yard (thank God) has very minimal patches of Creeping Charlie with which I think I can tame...Backyard which is 100ft X 100ft is 90% infested. Any suggestions for treating such a larger area? It's just lawn and mature trees so I have no concerns for any other vegatation. Thank you for any advice!
***** go high strength with the Borax and wife it all out and start over! that would be the best idea since you have so many restrictions where you are
Phungurific are you guys in one of the parts of Canada that is chem free? There are certain areas up your way where you are not permitted to use any weed control at all.
Ortho makes a "weed b gone" specifically for this, also controls wild violet. Search "Ortho Weed B Gon Chickweed, Clover, Oxalis Killer for Lawns". 16oz is less than 10 bucks
