How To Get Rid Of Dollar Weeds In 3 Quick Steps

Thanks for your good tips. I have small patches of dollar weed on my lawn, and wondered if cutting the petals off with a weed wacker will kill the plant. Thank you.

I used some weed killer Weed begone but it did nothing.

Thank you very much

Will any of these solutions kill the grass under the dollar weed. I have both san augustine and bermuda. and in places the dollar weed is a thick covering. I am not able to dig it up all is does is break and tear up the grass underneath.

This absolutely does not work. Salt, vinegar, dish soap, boiling water and commercial products will kill the top of the plant right away, but is soon as these solutions hit the soil, their effectiveness dissipates completely. So you are stuck with healthy roots and the plants are back in no time flat.

The best reason not to use any of these solutions is that any over-spray will kill the plants that you are trying to save. I have killed way too many plants using these methods. So put on your gardening gloves, kneel on a gardening bench, get a spade out and run the spade slightly under the dollar weed. Take you time and allow the spade to follow the root (it can be up to four feet long). If you hear a snap, you have broken the root. Start there and keep following the root until you get to the little root ball. There is no easy way to do this. Plan to repeat this process couple of months for the rest of your life.

I have bottle brush Hawthorne camellias olive, etc these are the shrubs around the soil where I need to kill the dollar we’d
Will the white vinegar indirectly kill them under the soil to their root system?
