    looks good! Its green, low maintenance, covers up the mud, no harsh chemicals needed! more time and money to go fishing. Win Win solution!!

    If it weren’t for creeping charlie up at the cabin, the entire yard would be dandelions! Smell good (to me) when mowed. whistling

    I have a target and a weapon. Bomb bay doors were opened. First load of Dicamba dropped. The fun begins. I will win.

    Trimec is a great Charlie eradicator and is friendly on the grass. Apply it while charlie is on the prowl, then re-apply 4 weeks later. Nothing better than to see Charlie get red, then die.

    On adding dish soap, when filling a pump sprayer use 2 tablespoons per gallon, but mix the soap in warm water separately in a glass and add to the chemical water mix in the tank. I don’t fill the tank off a hose or a faucet either. I add the chemical then fill by pouring water in the tank from a pail. When the water/soap and chemical are in I screw in the pump and give the whole works a shake….way less of the chemical laden foam outside of the tank this way.

    Follow up: Dicamba worked. Thank you. 3 applications in 3 weeks when I started this post and approx 90% is now gone. It didn’t die wholesale. It just faded away. I popped it again today with the last of the magic powder. There is a DISTINCT line between me and my neighbors where it ends. They get to endure my epidemic now.
