Confirm it's goosegrass (Eleusine indica) using university weed ID resources. It's an annual that produces up to 50,000 seeds per plant. It thrives in compacted, over- or under-watered soil — meaning your soil is the problem, not the weed.
Roundup creates a persistent toxic barrier that kills soil life and prevents any new growth. It harms birds, bees, and you. Hand-pull goosegrass, aerate compacted soil, and avoid overwatering.
Apply corn gluten meal (CGM) in early spring as a pre-emergent. It stops seed germination and adds nitrogen. Combine with fall overseeding of quality grass seed (e.g., from Seedland.com) for a dense lawn that outcompetes weeds.
Healthy soil grows healthy grass that naturally suppresses goosegrass. Focus on compost, proper mowing, and soil testing.
