Help me kill this thing

[hollisdude]

I live in Houston and I've been battling this weed in my St. Augustine grass for 2-3 years. This weed has extremely shallow roots and acts as like a cluster of vines that choke out St. Augustine.

So far, this weed thinks Amaze is a vitamin, Bayer Weed Control is like Perrier to this stuff. Can't do the Roundup because this vine weed is intermixed throughout the grass.

If you know what this is - and you've killed it, I would love to know the product. Environmentally safe solution or not, this is a weed jihad.

Isn't that wandering jew? Puts out little white flowers in the Summer?

I think weed and feed will do it. But it's pretty hardy stuff to be sure usually freezes back in Austin, but then roars back. Gorws well in shady spots that's for sure.

Wandering Jew is usually purple with a thicker vine. You can still use roundup selectively. Try putting some in a cup and use a paint brush to dob it onto them individually. You may also want to pull a couple of them and take them to a nursery and ask them for advice.
