There are two solutions that I've found: either dig it up by hand or poison everything in the area infested, and then plant new grass. I forget what the weed killer I used was, but it kills everything, and then loses toxicity after 2 or 3 weeks. I'd be interested in hearing other ideas because my lawn is being over run again.

In the cracks of the sidewalks and driveways, I have used epsom salt and jammed as much as I could in the cracks, they are dead the next day. Too much on plants/lawn can kill it.

I have creeping charlie that has consumed the back yard! Can I get rid of it without chemicals?
What is the best way to get rid of creeping charlie?
I see my creeping charlie has survived the winter and is thriving nicely. I have pulled it over and over. It seems to make it grow better.
I don't know how to get rid of creeping charlie without killing what's left of my grass. This stuff is horrible.
I have ground ivy that is growing along the fence line of my backyard that looks like it is spreading to my lawn, slowly.
How do I get rid of ground ivy without killing everything else? I really don't want a bare spot in my yard as my yard is beautiful, except I don't want this ground ivy to take over.
