Creeping Charlie issues - any advice? #878950
Asked July 26, 2024, 5:28 PM EDT
We have patches of creeping Charlie all over our yard. I'm able to hand weed some areas especially where it encroaches on garden beds. But, there are several larger patches where it's just not possible. I have several edible beds so I'm trying to avoid a broadleaf herbicide. Is there anything else I can do?

Expert Response
Short answer is No. I spray mine with a herbicide using a hand held sprayer while holding a large sheet of cardboard with a hand hole in it, to shield desired plants from the spray.
