I love all of your videos, i'm in the middle of a lawn care nut marathon enjoying a heineken. Of course, I'm on my porch looking at how amazing my lawn is starting to look after your amazing videos. Thank you so much for putting these out, I'm one seriously happy lawn care nut apprentice !!!
I like the way you presented the before and after shot on the treated area. It gives your viewer more confident in following through with your procedures. Thanks.
We just started war versus creeping charlie. Thanks for your guidance!
Followed this exactly and it worked great. We had a ton of creeping Charlie in our back yard.
+marty baranski thanks awesome! I love hearing the good results you all get!
This video came at a perfect time, the lawn of our new house is covered with Charlie. Can't wait for Video 2! Going to integrate this with your fall recovery plan. Thanks for the videos, great stuff.
glad it helped! and actually, the second video will show that I did not need anymore applications. the charlie is 100% gone from that area now. just took a little longer. :)
Not sure if I had Creeping Charlie or some other kind of leafy ground Ivy that was taking over my yard. I tried different weed killers but they would not touch this stuff. I then used this method and it did WORK! Yes! Thank you so much for this helpful video.
Thank you for this video and part 2. I just bought all the stuff and sprayed a bit ago. We will see how it goes in a few week. 👍 I have been battling these clovers for about 7 years and they are taking over.
Where is part 2? Cannot locate it.
Credit to this tip. I've fought this weed for years and even with professional lawn treatment it just keeps spreading. Applied the mule team and within a week the areas I hit hard are brown and dead. The areas with medium coverage are curling up. Applied the 2-4-D today and hope to see even more results. This is a great plan
Thanks so much. This stuff has encroached all over my backyard.
Thank you so much! Im going to get right on it then!!
nice, thanks for all you do.
Q: How long before I can put more grass seed down?
Thank you so much! I’m going to do the borax part today
I can't wait to try this. My lawn is covered in ground Ivy. I live in Canada and can't get most of the weed killers the US has. So thank you for this video!
Rozina, I live in canada too, did it work for you?
@@claytonchristensen6273 so it burnt of most of the ground Ivy which was great because it slowed down the growth. I did exactly what he said borax and water first then a weed killer (I used weed b gon but don't use weed b gon max it's garbage). I did this last year and the ground ivy was much better this year.
I have 2 acres of land of which half is turf area. We've used local contractors to kill weeds (Weed Man for one) for years who neglected the work (I caught their employees park in our drive way for half hour and drove off) and caused our turf to be overtaken by weeds. I then hired a different contractor and used them for two years but they have not been able to make a difference and told me they couldn't get the solution to rid of the creeping charlie (new strand of weed in the area apparently) and that I should just scrape off everything and start a new. Not only will this cost a fortune given the land mass, I don't trust these contractors anymore and decided to take matters into my own hands. I spent days researching for the solution (I didn't even know what the weed was called) online and stumbled upon your video. Thank you and will give the technique a try and prey it works! Question 1: You recommend the 20 Mule Team Borax "detergent booster & multi-purpose household cleaner". I am in process of ordering the pump sprayer (4 Gal backpack), and Borax online (Amazon.ca), I found the one (identical package as your video) for C$75.73 plus shipping (76oz). One of the comments directed me to purchasing the same at Walmart Canada, it costs C$5.77 (1.84kg), same brand but different colour box that says "nature's freshener". Are these same or different and can I use either one for the job? Question 2: Can I use the 4 Gal pump sprayer for the job instead of a fine mist spray bottle you suggested since I am dealing with half acre of affected area? One of the purchasers of the pump sprayer said his machine got clogged up using powder mix (non-liquid) after first use. Can I mix the solution in a bucket and dissolve it completely before pouring into the machine? Please help! FYI, I live in northern part of Quebec province and we get extreme temperature changes from below freezing level to 25C until June 1. I watched your 2017 video. My plan is to get rid of the weeds, replenish the soil, seed......
Hey Allyn thank you for the great video (s). Was curious, i have some patches of ivy, but also wanted to seed fertilize etc, and would need to water? What do you recommend, deal with ivy, wait then seed, or seed at same time and just avoid the ivy area with the seeding and watering? Tks again
IT WORKED TY TY TY. Been trying to get rid of this for years. Been taking over more and more. Finally Stopped it. Although i did put a bit too much weed killer after in some spots hurt some grass. No problem it's zoysia and will repair itself lol.
Grass all healed. Yay!
Great Video Allyn. You're videos are awesome. Will Tenacity eradicate creeping Charlie or only control it each season?
Hoping this works as my entire back yard has creeping Charlie. Thanks
How long after this process is complete, can I put new seed to build up the grass????
Thanks for the tips. Is the borax helpful for any other weeds?
Don't you just love when you move into a new house, with a troubled salad bar lawn and see creeping charlie everywhere - you remember 2+ years ago watching LCN's series on how to use, and you remember the Borax but you go back and re-watch the video series anyways and get treated with some sweet green screen action and the old music.... That old music though - every time I hear it, just makes me want to get out in the lawn.
Firtilome Weed Free Zone. I buy the ready to spray version because I am incapable of mixing the right amount of anything.
I would get armpump in like 2 minutes trying to spray my whole lawn with a trigger-sprayer. I'll be using a garden-sprayer on fine mist setting, thanks...
Should I do this before or after aeration/overseesing/milorganite? If before, how long do I need to wait before fertilizing/seeding?
Does the Surfacant you mentioned in the Clover video help with this mixture as well?
So beautiful plant s
Short and to the point, thank you! Every other lawn care video on here has way too much talking of irrelevant information. Thanks again
i found ripping out all the grass and covering it with 12 inches of asphalt works best
+Brad Bennett Fuck ya!
funny.

Brad Bennett Asphalt will fall apart after 10 years and wreck your mower.
LCN, do you have a series or advise for wild thyme? I live in the Adirondack Mountains, and this stuff is starting to take my lawn with a vengeance since last year! Please help.
i have the same pro. i thought they were small trees . thanks lcn
How well does the ortho hose end sprayer work with the chemical to treat creeping Charlie after you put borax on?
May you tell me the brand and product model you used for the weed control? thank you!
Hey! Just wondering how long after treatment it takes to notice some results. I treated 3 days ago and it still appears to be alive and well.
I tried a 100 square foot test area last year using your Borax solution and Weed B Gone. It worked great! I have more Creeping Charlie this year that I need to treat. The only problem I have is diluting the borax so it doesn't clog my sprayer. Do you use hot water to dissolve it? Thanks!
Thank You so much
Hey Allyn! I've been reading around the internet and I read that if you dethatch your lawn in the fall It should pull up the runners of creeping Charlie. Does this work or this just a myth with dethatching with Creeping Charlie?
Two questions.
First: Is the Borax treatment harmful to my doggie and my soon to be chickens? Or can I just keep them away from the area for the hour of time you recommend waiting afterwards? (Same question for the lawn weed killer.)
Second: Do you know if this will work for Virginia Creeper? I had never heard of that plant until I moved to coastal NC and it's all over the ground in a back area of my yard.
I love plants so much but I am not too sure I love invasive species like Virgina Creeper.
Thank you for a great video (even though I'm a late bloomer to your channel...LOL). Off to watch the second one now.
New subscriber! :)
Hey allyn I have a client that has alot of, I think it is purple ivy it is tall and has purple buds at the tips, is it the same method to get rid of that also? Thank you for the videos I have learned a ton
Question that hasn't been answered elsewhere - - will it kill this plant to weed whack very low to the ground, chopping all leaves off the charlie? I did this in one section of my lawn and I'm wondering if it's going to come back just as quickly. It does expose roots easier.
My lawn was taken over by Creeping Charlie last season. I can see tons of it throughout the lawn here in mid March 2020. When should the borax/weed killer treatment be applied relevant to your previous spring start up process of Milorganite and Prodiamine? FYI - Live north of Detroit area in Michigan. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated. Creeping Charlie is getting me down!!
Allyn... when you applied your weed killer, did you use a surfactant? If so, what did you use?
Can you use a natural weed killer (vinegar, epsom salt, dawn soap) after the borax? We have chickens so I don't want to use a lot of chemicals.
I used Trimec concentrate on a majority of my front lawn last fall to kill off the creeping charlie and clover. Worked great in one application. My wife is just as big of a lawn nut as i am, she hand pulled every single runner of it out after it was dead. She said the Trimec actually made it easier to get out after it was dead. Took about 1 week to wilt, and another week to completely brown out. I just enjoyed watching her in her bikini top in the front yard being a yard nut! The neighbors did also I'm sure! Double Domination!
Nice Video....Can I ask...At what time of year did you hit the lawn with the Borax mixture?
Is it 10 oz weight or 10 oz volume of Borax?
Thanks for the suggestion. I have an infestation of Bleeping Charlie. Trying it first without the Borax, just a Dicamba-type herbicide. My uninformed worry is that if. the CC gets injured by the Borax, then it will be less likely to absorb / ingest the herbicide.We'll see.
Any update?
@@TheTurbomopar Sorry, I had forgotten about my post. Happy news. The procedure worked great, even without the borax. I made first application around Sept , which in our area is when grass is coming out of summer dormancy. The kill was gradual, but this spring I have very little remaining CC. I'd say I killed more than 95%.
My wife calls it bleeping charlie. Our habitat is western Cascades foothills. The product was Weedmaster, a mix of 2,4,D, dicamba and some other stuff.
Is this better to do in the spring? Or can it be done anytime of year, like in the fall?
Great vid....I just use T-Zone in a couple of apps now. Creeping Charlie slaughter!
Can you use a backpack sprayer for larger areas of creeping charlie or will that be too much for the grass? How long would you suggest waiting on putting down grass seed after treating for creeping charlie?
Great Vid. My Bermuda in the rear yard has been overtaken by this stuff and it would take me forever to fine spray due to the area volume. You think a sprayer at the highest spray setting would work for the Borax? Thanks in advance.
What time of year is best to apply this treatment or does it not matter?
please make a video for new grass. I bought a house that has new grass. it has pretty good areas but has pretty abundant unwanted grass. not sure what they are called but they are different from bermuda.
Can I try this method now or only in spring? It's about 90 degrees here in Chicago. I just put down some Milorganite. How long should I wait until I try this method? Thanks.
Will a pump sprayer work for this application?
I have creeping charlie all over the place this year. It was never so bad! Lots of weird stuff this year with weeds.
On the other hand, the majority of my grass is doing well, but the specific problem areas are bigger problems this year than any year before.
PS, I know you lived in Chicagoland during the time when this video was filmed. I live in northwest Indiana, so our environmental conditions will be relatively the same.
Do you have any videos on how to get rid of Lesser celandine in lawns?
Is the 5 oz per gallon by volume or weight, i.e. just over 1/2 of 8 oz cup? Thanks.
I do not see listed which weed killer you mixed in the pump sprayer to get rid of the creeping charlie. We have it all over our lawn and I am headed to walmart to find the weed killing item with 24D & Dicamba that you mentioned to mix in the pump sprayer? What am I looking for? Brand?
Does this mix work on other weeds? Crabgrass nutsedge, etc...?
Will this work for Dollar Weed (Pennywart)?
I noticed a newer video for clovers where you say to use baby shampoo. Is that just for clovers or can we use that method for Creeping Charlie as well?
Can you still mow the lawn during the 14 days you wait for the charlie to start drying out?
2.4D has the same effects and does not kill your grass as easily
We have a rather large area of creeping charlie not located in our lawn. Can we use something larger to apply the borax mixture other than a spray bottle?
Great vid!
How often do you recommend spraying lawns with this mixture?
Lots of weeds where I need to use it.
Thanks!
Dariusz Niedziela only a couple times per year. Just work on sections at a time. The key is to thicken up the grass also and that will help
I spent the whole summer pulling all my creeping charlie out of my yard by hand & i had alot of it.. now there's no more growing & my yard looks awesome..
kudos2ya37 Hi, Did you pull the heads off only or the roots too? Thanks...any help would be great!
@@danovido8946 gotta get them roots. Best after a rain.
centapide is taking over my st. aug lawn. how do i prevent this
I’m choosing to skip the herbicide and just use Borax. Can I apply it again this season?
Do you have to turn off irrigation after application? Or safe to water lawn after 2 days of application
Im using TruGreen right now. After 2 treatments the crewping charlie looks like its getting worse. Is this treatment compatable with the TruGreen treatment?
Hey do you have any advice on common mallow?
took you six years!!!?? took mine 3 months!!! (pennsylvania) The lawn used to be a beautiful sight. The past couple of weeks, its now almost covered in this mess!
Mine is partially covered right now, too. Silver lining: their purple flowers look great right now.
Can I apply this treatment if it rains the next day?
This just works
What if we can only get the iron weed control where we live? Will the borax coupled with that work?
Is that 5 ounces of borax the same as 5/8 of a cup? Or is it 5 ounces by weight?
I have two selective herbicides. "Q4 Plus" with 2,4, dimethylamine salt. and "4-Speed XT" with 2,4, Dichloroophenoxyacetic Acid. Which is the correct one, if any? They both have Dicamba. Thank you in advance for your assistance. Dave
Hi. I have creeping charlie on my turf. We in canada can't use 2 4d. Can I use this borax solution to kill weed alone ? Without 2 4d ? After how long I can re apply it. Or it will get too strong and can kill lawn too...
Can I put the borax inside a yard sprayer? I have a yard covered in it and it's very large
Just an FYI all studies done on Borax vs Creeping Charlie show that the damage potential to your lawn far out weigh it's use as a weed killer. Boron (Borax) does not break down in the soil!
Yeah I would also like to see a series on getting rid of clovers because those give me the most problems.
Clover is not a problem. It adds nitrogen to the soil and creates soil life. Listen to mother nature. Don't destroy her - by trying to grow the grass that is killing our planet just by "maintaining" it.
Mirla Lacen don't think getting rid of clover in my lawn will destroy the world. Plenty of wild clover growing on the river Banks and along the highways in Nebraska!
It's the toxins Mike.
ChicagoSirens Clover is good for the Bees and improves soil with nitrogen
Mirla Lacen who the hell is putting toxins on my yard? I have pets and kids/ grandkids that play in my yard. Getting tired of people deciding what is right or wrong for my home and family. I want a nice looking lawn the kids can play on! I do habitat restoration on a couple miles of land that the company I worked for own. Plenty of wild clover and natural grasses and other forage for the critters. We put out food plots and get old corn from grain elevators for deer and birds. We think the predators every fall and winter to keep a good balance between predators and prey. We've raised quail and released them there. We've stocked the ponds with fish. I don't think we've damaged mother nature here by mowing or taking care of our lawns!
Great video I appreciate your time you spend making these videos. I have creeping Charlie (ground Ivy) Just got my house about a year ago, and it has spread to the entire lawn. Instead of using that spray bottle and going over my entire lawn, is there another way to do it? I know you want a fine mist, but looking as it takes me an hour to just cut my lawn, I may be out there just spraying for 2. Any help or ideas are appreciated. Thanks again. +The Lawn Care Nut
Go to harbor freight and buy a garden sprayer, the good ones have a fine mist setting.
Apply iron like you do fertilizer. CC does not grow in iron soil. I applied it to my lawn and CC just did not grow. All natural and lasts longer.
Only works for creeping charlie and ground ivy or some other weeds?
Is this 5 fluid ounces or weight in ounces?
Will the borax kill newly planted grass seed?
Having a half acre the spray bottle option wont work, picked up a gallon sprayer and used ortho creeping Charlie killer
Stupid question but here goes, I don’t own a dietitian scale so how would I measure out 5 oz? I do own measuring cups and spoons, does 5oz equate to a certain measurement in cups?
What can I use to kill grass in my vegetable garden ?
Is that 5 Oz by weight, or volume?
I tried Borax once and about killed my grass - turned it yellow. However, I just saw this video (2021) and didn't dilute the borax at 5oz/gal water. I think you have to be very careful because that stuff stays in the ground. Does the Lawn Care Nut regret pushing Borax as a solution? Strangely enough, I'm going to go ahead and try this method simply because I TRUST the Lawn Care Nut. Here's hoping.
Good Vid, Are you planning or could you plan to a vid on Black Medic and Clover? These two give me the most problems.
I'll see what I can get done here in August and September for ya!
Yeah that'd be good to see covered. My three biggies are creeping charlie, white clover, and oxtail.
I live in Alberta, Canada. I've been told that I cannot access borax in Canada? ? I have a creeping charlie problem and need to know what to use to get rid of it once and for all.
Can't wait, Charlie has me bad
How about putting cardboard down and depriving it of light for a couple of weeks?
Another good tip for weed control. I keep treat my mom has a little creeping Charlie or is it creeping Jenny with weed killer and it would yellow but never go away. I'll have to try the Borax. I always add some dish soap not anti bacteria soap to my weed control tank sprayer. Could you show us how to mix grass seed while your fertilizer maybe a fall video? I know Tru green does this when they fertilize there lawns. Can't wait for vid 2 on creeping Charlie!
I think you will like the next video! You are already on the right track.
I've been pulling it out by hand. Had about 8 patches roughly 1/4-1/2sw ft. It seems to like to grow mostly where the lawn meets the walkway. I'm hoping my kentucky bluegrass will fill it in, but maybe I should reseed these areas.
Can you please tell me, does creeping Charlie flower?! Our lawn is covered in it! Thanks
+Diego's Mom it can get purple flowers
Is the 5 oz by weight or by volume?
what is one supposed to do about rain... the rain will water the lawn, can't stop it?
I have clover and black medic that I can't seem to get rid of.
Is this available in canada i have a similar weed forget the name ..i have tried
