How can I get rid of...

I know that some of the roundup doesn't kill grass just make sure that you look at the label. I bought some a couple of years ago that said weed killer but won't harm grass. I hope that this helps.

They are like Morning Glories...once they take hold and start to spread, it's very difficult to get rid of them. You can try cutting it back; way back. Then if you really want it gone for good, you can dig up the roots. That's a tough task though, and probably will ruin much of the grass. The easiest way to kill a Creeping Charlie is with Round Up. The only problem is that unless you can get the kind that will only kill the weed and not the grass; you will have to replant the grass. I think at this point it sounds to me like Round Up is your only option if you want the Charlie completly gone.

Creeping Charlie will eventually choke out your grass anyway. I talked to a gardner who was able to spray the lawn with something that killed off the creeping charlie and did not damage much of the grass. You should check your neighbor's lawn too though, because if they also have it, it will creep right back over to you.

Try taking it out by hand. There is no maintenance free yard or landscaping. You have to weed your lawn and flower beds. Weeds are like cancer. You can't let the weeds take over and then expect to get rid of it with ease. Some people don't like this type of work. It isn't work for me. I love working in my flower beds. I don't like round-up because it leaves residual salts in the soil. I try to be kind to the Earth because there are many people who will have to live here when I am gone. However it is an excellent way to get rid of it. You should get the concentrate that you mix yourself. You will save some money that way. Grass seed isn't very expensive so get some and reseed where necessary. Make sure there are no germination prohibitors in the round-up. You should also till about 4" where you will be planting and tamp the seed into the soil. Cover with straw or one of the shredded newspaper pellets or seed accelerator. The grass will not grow until it is 40F degrees at night.
