Getting rid of a weed; looks like a carpet but i dont know the name

crystaltips_68

Hi, my front garden is covered in a small-leafed, dense, low growing, ground-covering green plant, that is proving difficult to get rid of. My mum thinks its called nobodys business. Does anyone know the name of the plant, and any way of killing it off without damaging other plants??

Thanks!:beer:

Its called mind your own business. I also have it covering the front garden. I just pull it up once or twice a year. You could spray it with a glyphosate based weedkiller, but need to steer clear of the other plants around it which I appreciate can be tricky.

I've got it around the wild life area of the garden and love it -I went and bought the plants and hoping they'll spread and make a smashing lawn............no need to cut it and so soft to tread on...........:)

According to gardeners world, it helps if you crush the leaves before using glyphosate. Also suggests an organic method if you don't want full scale annihilation!
