Anyone know how to kill this weed?

in the US its called silverdollar weed... you can spray the tops
that are showing and they will die, but the roods extend 10's of feet
underground and it will re-grow very quickly...

thanks
JT

Not sure. What spray are you using. Maybe something that works a little slower. Give the plant time to take the spay to the roots.

Have you tried the ortho weed be gone. It takes several treatments. As it gets hotter they die back in the summer anyway. They like the moist spring time weather.

We have a product called Round up or Glycophate (glycophate is available in the US) it is absorbed through the leaves, works a trat on most weeds, you may have to increase the mix to what is recommended

Weed b gone doesn't hurt the lawn and only targets broad leaf plants. But if you mix it too strong it will.
