Any way to get rid of this stuff? It's taking over my back yard. I know it loves over-watering , but I haven't even started watering yet. We haven't had much sunshine either (NW Florida). Maybe that'll help dry things up a bit...
Pretty sure it's Hydrocotyle spp - stem attaches to the center of the leaf. Turf is St. Augustine.
Very good! Thanks for the help, I appreciate it!
Because of your locale, are you *positive* it's /Hydrocotyle spp./ and NOT /Dichondra/? If you look at the underside of the leaf, where does the stem attach (center, or near the edge of the leaf)?
What type of turfgrass do you have?
2,4-D is out then. it'll kill your grass. Atrizine was the perferred quick kill for /Hydrocotyle/ in St. Augustine turf, but it's been banned for homeowner's use (though it's still used by commercial applicators).
Look for a product called "Image" (Imazaquin). It's not real speedy, but it's safe on your particular turf (provided the grass is healthy and actively growing), and it works.
No problem. Good luck!
Just start rolling it and smoking it and the police will come and pull it all up.
