Is anybody else having a problem with chickweed taking over your yard or pastures? And does anybody know what to use to kill it without killing your grass. TIA

I use a broad leaf weed killer. Works pretty well, but more always comes up.

What's it look like??
I think i probably have it, and doing the "broadleaf weed killer' too. Just did the first application, give it a month or two, and I'll do it again. If that fails, have to think about killing everthing and just reseeding in the fall.

Has little white flowers and looks like this. Pretty easy to pull up.

The problem with killing everything is that not only is taking my yard over it is also taking my horse pasture also. Seems like it gets worse ever year.

I also have a lot of this. We call it cheeseplant. Small leaves.

The only other weed I have is a wild strawberry type weed that spread over from my neighbor's jungle.

In my yard, I call that "grass". I mean, it is green, right? If I kill it, I got nuttin.

Your best defense for your horse pasture is a healthy stand of grass. If you over graze, you kill off the grass. You might as well be inviting the weeds.
Is it trailing? If so, it's ground ivy.

Can't do much about the horses pasture, but the yard.....go to hardware store. Lowes or ACE has it also. Get "Ortho Dial a spray and Ortho lawn weed killer." They used to make a chickweed and clover killer, but I haven't been able to find it in awhile. This thing attaches to your garden hose, fill the attached jug with the weed killer and dial in the oz/gal to use.
I fight the chickweed every year. After about 3 applications, 1 per week, it's history.

Chickweed is a winter annual. It will naturally die back in the hot summer.

And in the meantime it crowds out the grass, making more room for it once the temp goes down.Chickweed is a winter annual. It will naturally die back in the hot summer.
