Lol...I like how bluntly you stated your last sentence. It is true that part of gardening is having to pull out the plants that you deem as weeds. Creeping Charlie can be controlled chemically, but you should be careful not to kill any plants that you want to keep. You should use a weed control that has the active ingredients: 2, 4-D and MCPP. Also known chemically as 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and methylchlorophenoxypropionic acid. These compounds work on broad leaf plants and will not affect grasses (unless they are used in extremely high concentrations). If you find a weed killer that also has the compound dicamba (3,6-dichloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid) in it, it will be even more effective. Once again this compound will not affect grasses. The best time to apply this compound is in fall when the temperatures start to cool (around 65F). Also, be sure not to apply this compound if there is rain in the forecast. Be sure not to completely soak the plants. You merely have to wet the leaves. I hope this is helpful. Robby
