Also have a good growth of this plague on the south side of the house. For the most part in my forty years of tending this same plot of ground I have found that when the grass (St. Augustine is cut high (2 1/2-3"s) I have very little problem with anything considered a weed.
A little early this year for that kind of growth in the grass but have seen it work on many weeds more obnoxious than dollarweed. Have read in the past that it tends to seek low, wet places. I'll let you know how things are going in a couple of weeks as the grass gets higher. Best part....seems no other weeds grow where this plant is.....only have one problem to deal with instead of multiples. Don't care for chemicals for weeds or bugs just let nature guide. (Who decided that dollarweed was a weed and not a desirable ground cover?)
