Question

What's a natural cure for chickweed?

Answer 1

Any broadleaf weed killer will do it in, but none of them are natural.  Likewise with the pre-emergent herbicides.  The only "natural way" is to pull it up by hand, which is not much fun and would take you forever.  Name it and use it as a pet.

Answer 2

I'm not aware that chickweed has any ill effects that would require a cure.

If you mean how to get rid of it, most natural weed killers would probably kill whatever else you have growing there.  It may be that you will have to pull or dig it, or use one of those flame weed killers.

You probably wouldn't consider this natural, but there are pre-emergent weed preventives.  These prevent weed seeds from sprouting.  Unfortunately, it will also prevent flower or grass seeds from sprouting.  If it is in an existing area of grass, that wouldn't be a problem.

Answer 3

I have fought it for years and the answer is move. You can poison it but if you plow it comes back.
