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 !!!

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.

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

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.

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!

[Demure]

Short and to the point, thank you! Every other lawn care video on here has way too much talking of irrelevant information. Thanks again

Followed this exactly and it worked great. We had a ton of creeping Charlie in our back yard.

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..

[timhagenbuch]

We just started war versus creeping charlie. Thanks for your guidance!

i found ripping out all the grass and covering it with 12 inches of asphalt works best

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,

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!

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.

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.

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.

Hoping this works as my entire back yard has creeping Charlie.  Thanks

[justinninke]

Is this 5 fluid ounces or weight in ounces?

[Mike_Greene]

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!

[emerygm]

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.

[CarolinaGirlCreationZ]

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.
