Last year I had it under control in the front garden. No problems w/ it in the back. Now my back yard IS COVERED with it! Garden areas. Open areas. And I can't keep up with the darn chickweed.

How do I get rid of it?
Is there a fertilizer that will deal with it? Pet friendly or not? (I don't mind fertilizing patch by patch if it's not pet friendly.)

Thanks. :)

Ortho makes a Creeping Charlie and Chickweed killer but it needs to be mixed with their lawn weed killer. You can spray from a pump tank or garden hose sprayer.

Also kills Oxalis.
