Auntnene,
Purple Deadnettle And some more
Purple Deadnettle I have this stuff.... I can't say I've actually tried to get rid of it...
Right now, this time of year, with the soil being so moist is a good time to pull it out by hand, should come out very easily..
(I'm organic and I'm an old fashion puller outter!
No chemicals) but I do know, when the soil is so moist, MOST
weeds are VERY EASY TO PULL OUT!!!
The problem sometimes is that they are on runners and even though what looks like a good amount of root system that you get, still may be under ground and still viable...
How much is there????
A small patches or totally entwined with your lawn???
I know there's a chemical applier here, The
plant Doc... maybe he'll slide thru for you!!!!
I was just re~reading your posts,
you had the guy VERTICUT your lawn...
I had to look it up what that comprised of.....
Sometimes, when you do anything to the soil,
using the machine he did to verticut the lawn or
a rototiller it, the process opens up the dirt
and exposes
weed seeds that have laid dormant over a period of time and years. Some
seeds can lay dormant and viable for many, many years.
Once the soil is exposed and/or opened up,
it gives lite to those
seeds and they pop out of the ground...
That's why those pesky little buggers live for ever, they have so many defense mechanisms to be able to survive....
