What is this???

[coco25]

I have no clue.... But whatever it is, it is very strong, spreads crazily, & just won't die! I've tried everything short of a flamethrower.....

Everything short of chemicals?

Pulled it, cut it, sprayed weed killer & covered with cardboard and put new dirt over, and sure enough it came back, busted through everything and has overgrown that spot again!!! Don't even know what it is....

Assume used Round-up. I'd go with 2-4D or better yet, CrossBow or generic CrossRoad.

Thanks I will check that out, hopefully it kills it!

2-4D, CrossBow will kill all broadleaf plants but leave grass alone.

Might take a sample to local fertilizer/Chem dealer. He'll know how to kill it.

Thank You, very much appreciated!

I have it on my place too. The good news is, summer heat will kill it. My horses and sheep will eat it, but unfortunately, they'd eat the garden too. I pull it up by the wagon loads and layer with horse/sheep/chicken manure for compost. When I am weeding, the sheep will wait by the fence for me to throw them some over the fence. They'll BAA at me if I'm not fast enough.

Maybe I need to get a goat!!

Well, yes, of course you need a goat [family] to help you garden. Doesn't everyone?
