weeds and strawberry


Question
I bought a home in North Carolina and my lawn is full of all types of weeds and would you believe wild strawberrys. What can I use to kill strawberrys and still keep my lawn.Thanks for any help you can give me.

Answer
Sam,

There are several products that will work.  I would recomend a good three way or four way herbicide with a combination of 2,4-D, Dicamba, and MCPP.  Trimec, and Endrun are a few product that should help you regain control of the weeds.  

This fall put down a good pre-emergent herbicide such as barricade and also do this again in the spring.  This will prevent the weeds from comming back again.

Remember, the best defense against weeds is a healthy stand of turf and good cultural practices...which will lead to a healthy stand of turf.

Thanks,
