Louise, a dedicated local reader of MLCHgarden, asked about this obnoxious summer weed.
UGA extension answered this one as I have it all over my garden, too, but hard to find
a description online. UGA’s Georgia Turf is an excellent resource too!
The pics are of Chamberbitter (Niruri, Gripeweed, Leafflower) growing in
my garden. I just pluck them up as they are easy to pull, but the underside is filled with
perfect rows of little round seed balls…
The Extension office recommends treatment of turfgrass/garden area in spring with Prompt (a pre-mix of atrazine and Basagran), again, though, I just let my fingers do the pullin’.
Blessings from the Garden.
