With all of our recent rains, Dollar Weeds are everywhere. They are relatively easy to pull out of the flower beds since they don't have deep roots, but I was wondering if anybody had an organic way of destroying these things and not harming the soil or plants?
What are dollar weeds? I have some seeds from a "Money Plant" I wonder if they are the same thing? I can't get these darn seeds to do anything!!!
Simple answer... Dollar Weeds are... my new enemy! Here's a "technical" answer from an internet search... "Dollarweed (Hydrocotyle spp.), also known as pennywort, is a warm-season perennial weed. It gets the common name, dollarweed, from its silver- dollar-shaped leaves. The leaves of dollarweed are round, bright green, fleshy and look like miniature lily pads measuring 1-2" in diameter with a scalloped edge. It has a low-growing habit that spreads by seeds, rhizomes and tubers. Dollarweed is often confused with dichondra." I asked my aunt how to get rid of them. She said "Simple. Pull them out." :-o
I feel your pain Cherylad. I have been trying for the last several years to get rid of Lamiastrum galeobdolon (Yellow Archangel). Once I left some laying on the ground instead of in a bucket and the darn stuff rooted! A pretty plant but won't stay put and I would like it gone.
