What type of weed, and how to kill?
Comments (1)For our purposes there are two kinds of plants: grasses and broadleaf plants. Usually they are easy to distinguish from each other. Weed-b-Gon kills many varieties of broadleaf plants like dandelion, dichondra, spurge, dollar weed, and other plants with leaves. Grass has blades making them easy to distinguish from broadleaf plants. There is a product called Grass-b-Gon that would kill the weed, but since it is growing in grass, the GBG product will also kill the surrounding grass. RoundUp would work and so would GBG. You could either paint the weed with RU/GBG or you might be able to mask off the rest of the surrounding grass with cardboard leaving only the weed sticking out. Then spray the weed and remove the cardboard....See MoreWhat type of weed is this?

Comments (9)I'm afraid there are at least four different plants in that clump and it's very difficult to see the details. One if them looks like mouse ear chickweed, Cerastium vulgatum. There is another plant with toothed leaves but it's all tangled up with the others and the flower buds are at the back and impossible to make out. Can you separate the clump out and provide a larger picture?...See MoreChris Vale
