This has taken over my brother's yard. What is it and how do you kill it? He has some st. Aug. thanks.

Isn't that the point of grass?

Not sure what that is, but 2,4-D will probably nuke it.

Thought you were looking for cannabis-growing tips. I am disappoint.

Just kidding. I would try some of the Bayer Weed Killer for Southern Lawns in a hose end sprayer. But he'd have to be careful because it is already so dang hot. Don't know what that weed is though. Good Luck.

Weedmaster. It's a combination of 24-D and Dicamba. Weeds: Dead.

It won't kill grass. It's a pasture product. I get it at my co-op and a jog lasts me for a few years. Not sure what the other options are.

Speaking of weeds. How do I control Virginia Buttonweed? It is relentless.

Surmont or Escalade. For years I used other things that "controlled" it but these will kill it.

Been using weed free zone, but it hasn't done the trick.

Weedmaster/ 2,4-D are selective broadleaf herbicides. They won't hurt grass when applied correctly. Just read the label carefully. It'll tell you what you need to do. It would help to know the name of that weed though since theres minimum concentrations to use for certain plants. Generally, you want to stick to the minimum to avoid killing other stuff, and some plants require a surfactant to be effective.

Just read the label, and follow it, and it'll work

That's Buttonweed, you can spray it but if its not much just pull it up, that stuff is bad news,it will smother your grass,you will see once you pull it up it will be a bald spot where it's already done damage.Hate that stuff!!

get some round up and 2-4-D concentrate...put a "glub" or so of each in a gallon sprayer...
put it in first before you put the water in or it will foam up...
spray that stuff...
needs to be dry and no wind...
needs to dry an hour or so so if it rains right after you spray you'll need to spray again..

note: this will pretty much nuke what you put it on...

I just did it yesterday when it was sunny an hot and it's already taking effect...hotter the quicker it works...
I will probably have to hit it again sometime this week due to the amount of rain that hit me yesterday...

Yeah, unless there are different varieties of buttonweed. That is definitely not Virginia buttonweed.

Mixing 24D and roundup is a waste. Roundup will smoke everything on its own
