Hello,
Our lawn is about 40% Creeping Charlie and I would like to cut that back quite a bit. We have never wantesd to use
Round-up or other strong herbicides so we basically just "live with it". I recently read an article about an iron-based herbicide
that causes Creeping Charlie to take it up, greens it up, but then it dies off whlie not harming grass or our annual rabbit
families. Do you know if this is a viable and available approach?
Thanks!

Studies done at the University of Maryland show that it is effective but requires multiple timed applications. See the website for details.
