Aw heck! Why is a native plant, a groundcover, getting vilified as a “weed”, rather than a preferable walkable surface to environmentally-disastrous turf grass. Pretty ridiculous.
Its not a preferable ground cover at all LOL. Its invasive only in the summer, doesn't have properties that are desirable like actual turf (Fescue, Bremuda, etc) The herbicides mentioned are very clean and have minimal affect on species outside of broadleaf weeds. This is a fantastic video with great information!
@@picksmith4157 , LOL yourself. Shows what you know. Actual turf has very little utility outside of sports and food for ruminants. However, native plants are hosts for insects we need to survive. Furthermore, by definition, native plants are not weeds, but many turf grasses ARE weeds. Before you play the following old saw: "A weed is just a plant growing where YOU don't want it," bear in mind that is a folksy saying, not a useful definition for deciding what plants warrant eliminating.
I got MSM Turf, which is the first one to really knock it out
I'd go with Farenheight herbicide, it has Dicamba in it and way cheaper than celsius, last you forever.

It's 100% a weed because botanists classified it as such. Sorry the meanings of words don't conform to your worldview.
