You need Triclopyr or 2,4-d for creeping Charlie. If you don't mind planting a little clover it will help also, if clover is out of the question hit it with a heavy shot of nitrogen in about a month. Like 26-0-3 or some other winterizer
This seems like a very useful post but i have no idea what it means.
Seconded.

I have this issue and it's pissing me off and you really can't even pull that **** out by hand.

My "lawn" is probably only 50% actual grass. So long as it's green and mowable, I don't care.

I really want to grow jalapeños in my Aerogarden, but the risk of one of the cats getting sick from it has discouraged me from doing so. Just wiped out my old Thai basil, cleaned the unit, and will be growing Genovese basil and rosemary this go around.

You know, I used the aero garden one single time and somehow ended up with a crazy aphid infestation. I don't get how.

My wife didn't know the lights could move up and down and she roasted the first crop of stuff she grew in hers.

I need to do a better job at keeping the basil in check this time around. That stuff grows like a weed, and can overtake the entire unit quickly. My Harvest model has 9 pods, and there's zero chance you can actually use them all at once unless you're growing something that maxes out at 6". I'm going to be running 2 pods this time around, and I bet it all covers 100% of the area when mature.

Not sure that's even possible, given how the roots tangle within the box. You'd have to resort to brute force to pull a mature plant free.

if you do two plants max one on each end you could get them out before things get hairy

:lol: Tell that to my Thai basil. Its roots were wrapped around everything. I only had two pods the last time (other was some kind of lettuce), planted at opposite ends.

Explain 2,4 d
Sorry. 2, 4 d is a selective herbicide that targets broadleaf (read weeds) plants.

Triclopyr is also a selective herbicide that targets the same things, but is more often used in brush areas.

Clover is well clover. Creeping charlie comes from a lack of nitrogen in the soil. Clover puts nitrogen back into the soil.

Adding nitrogen fertilizer has the same effect without seeing clover.

How is the genovese basil compared to the Thai basil in terms of height and spread?

That table is 2' front to back. 2 Thai plants and 1 Genovese plant. They went in about 2 months ago.

A fertilizer with a high(ish) first number. Like 26-0-3. Make sure you apply when it's likely to rain within a few hours.

I would certainly try some 2,4 d if it was me though, in addition to nitrogen in about 3 weeks.

Update:

I purchased the Scott's Fall Weed & Feed (28-0-6 with 2,4-d in it). Applied on Tuesday, the creeping Charlie is wilting as of this morning.

Also purchased concentrated 2,4-d for localized attack on anything I missed.

How does the fall weed and feed work? You just sprinkle it in your yard and let it do its thing?

Yep, all those pelletized grass treatments have instructions about weather conditions that you have to read.

This one was temp <90, apply to a damp lawn (morning dew), and make sure it's not going to rain for 24 hours.

I just threw it in the spreader, set it to what they told me, and went to tahn.
