Does dollarweed stop growing in the winter? It is taking over my lawn. I have been treating it with a granule but it has been tough to control and I was hoping it does back in cooler weather.

Yes to a extent but it’s a perennial weed so it will come back. If it is taking over your yard you not using the proper herbicide. Spray it now with MSM Turf (metsulfuron methyl) with surfactant (spreader sticker) added to the solution, 1/8 teaspoon MSM + 2 teaspoon of surfactant per gallon of water sprayed over 1000 sq ft of lawn. Repeat on a warm day in 3 weeks or so. Resume in late winter/early spring.

I have a pretty large vegetable garden in my back yard and I'm constantly fighting various invasive weeds over the years I've been growing vegetables.

First it was the local nut grass and bush killer vine, then dollar weed, now it's oxalis, purslane and a tree-like weed that looks a bit like a mini mimosa tree.

The oxalis is particularly vile with the way it grows and spreads underground and no amount of spraying between plantings, tilling, hoeing, hand weeding, etc. has any impact on it.
