We have Creeping Charlie that has been spreading in our yard and is taking over. What can I do to get rid of it? We would prefer not to use harsh chemicals if possible. Thanks!

Expert Response
If you don't want to use chemicals then you will just have to keep digging it out. There are herbicides which can be used without any lasting damage when following the directions on the label. Look for a herbicide that lists Creeping Charlie on the label. Here is a link to our article on dealing with Charlie: Become a Smarter Gardener in 2019: How to manage Creeping Charlie (umn.edu)
