Finally something that works

I don’t usually leave reviews, but this deserves a review. Like others have said in comments there’s finally a product that kills creeping Charlie. I’ve tried all kinds of products over several years and nothing worked . The weed would partially die and then come back retreat it same thing over and over. And for those who don’t know what creeping Charlie is about… Landscape professionals won’t guarantee killing it when they do their weed killer and nothing has killed it till this product.Thank you from a very happy customer.

Good stuff

After 2 applications, most of the ground ivy is gone. Best to use in 70 to 80 degree temps.

If at first you don't succeed!

I believe at first it was user error so I tried again and got better results. The wood sorrel is a real challenge but I think it will take a few more applications to achieve the results I'm hoping for.

works but be careful

your product works well but make sure you apply it directly to the weeds it will take out healthy grass if you are not careful. I like the product knowing it is not poisining my environment.

Generally effective

The selective proportion killed most of the ground ivy but left many small, deeper patches. Some of the grass died as well but most survived. Works best in warm, sunny weather.

Worked on the terrible thistles and burdock plants!

I mixed ad the full strength to kill thistles in my flower beds and edges and burdock plants on my back hill. They started wilting the next day!! More than a week in they're either totally gone or partially dead which is probably due to me not covering them enough with the product on the stems/leaves. I'm going to do another application but I"m super happy with this product so far!!!
Pic 1 is of some thistles they day after I treated them and pic 2 is of the burdock plants the day after I sprayed them.

Looks very promising

I tried this out on a small area of Creeping Charlie in my lawn. The little bit of grass that the Creeping Charlie had not destroyed remained green and healthy while the Creeping Charlie died. There were a couple of little bits of the weed that were alive but weeks later they still had not spread. Just today I sprayed a larger patch of yard that I will be reseeding within a couple of days. I am expecting good things from what I have seen so far.

Lawn reno

The product works in line with your instructions. I've had good results so far. This was my second purchase. I use an electric 2 gallon spray system from Roundup which works well but its taken some time to learn how much to soak the weed as well as managing application overlap. The simple chemistry and low environmental impact is very important factors as well.

Incredible! I expected it would work a little bit... but never expected it to work so well!

I love this product. Used it on a lawn covered with Creeping Charlie. The weed had been spreading for years and I didn't know how to treat it. Didn't want to use harsh chemicals that would harm our dog or neighbors' dogs. When I saw the adds for Lanaturo's product, it sounded like the right approach (NaCl plus a small amount of acid)... but I was dubious at first. I used their on-line app which identified the good days for sprayings in my geographic location based on weather reports. When I found a good day, I treated the first half of the lawn with one spray application. It worked perfectly- killing the Creeping Charlie within 2 days (it was hot weather). For the second half of the lawn, I had to hit it with 2 sets of spray applications separated by about 2 weeks. I think it was mostly because my sprayer nozzle was now a little bit clogged with dried salt during the second and third sprays... so I would recommend a good cleaning of the sprayer nozzle after sprayings... or just buy a new nozzle for each application... or use a paint brush to coat the top and bottom of weeds if you don't have a sprayer. But after the 2 sets of sprays on the second half of the lawn, the Creeping Charlie was gone in 2 days. Most of the grass survived fine, although some of it turned brown. It may return after some waterings. But even if it doesn't, it will be easy to re-seed some grass in those areas. Overall, the product worked great- as advertised. Thanks for the great help with the lawn!

The roots of the blue violet

These roots, will definitely put this product to the test. I have been tickling the leaves to make sure I get them coated properly and saturating the ground. So far I think I have put a big dent in what was a major overtaking of the lawn. I have only lived here for 4 months, the one neighbor and previous owner let it get way out of control. I am including a picture of the roots.

I think the product worked great along with your recommendations as far as the mixing was concerned. An awesome product especially since we have a dog and were concerned about putting chemicals down. I wish you also had chemical free lawn fertilizers.

Bye, bye lawn violets.

I applied the first treatment and about 50% of the violets died. I’ll apply the second treatment tomorrow and expect similar results. This, after trying most every chemical recommended by the local garden store over the years. None worked, unless I was also willing to kill the grass. Thanks for this pet-friendly product.

It really works

I am able to spot treat lawn without killing grass. Most important thing is I am killing weeds that other products (believe me I have tried them all) didn't even touch. I tried granular weed and feed, I tried spray on products, nothing worked. I live in a windy area in springtime so seeds have no problem finding my lawn. The worst was Spurgeon, it's unbelievable. I am now ready to fill in spots and seeds as soon as weather cools a bit more.

pretty good

This product annihilated all the clover, crabgrass and ground ivy. I'm sorry I don't know the name of all the plants I sprayed. They grow very tall and have small white flower. Although they are still there, they have stopped growing. I'm still observing them.The customer service at Lanaturo is unprecedented. All my questions were covered on the website and the instructions on the product are very thorough so there was no guess work. I'm sorry I didn't take pictures!
Thanks !

Excellent Result

The product worked well. Results are essentially what the vendor
stated in their writeup. I was targeting ground ivy and was pleased with the result, but, as advertised, it will take a second application. Much better result than some previous salt water -based applications. I recommend it.

Unbelievably Effective

I had several areas of Creeping Charlie(CC) in my yard that has proven impossible to eradicate, even with the "purple bottle" product.
I saw the ad for Lanaturo Salacia. I was skeptical as being almost 70 years old, I've seen my share of "miracle" products only to be found of no value.
I purchased one bag of Salacia. I mixed the 3-scoop per gallon solution.
To apply without overspraying or missing an area, I laid out several garden hoses vertically about 3 feet apart.
I had to leave to pick up my car, so I laid down a stick horizontally to mark where I left off. When I returned about 90 minutes later, I found no stick was necessary as there was a definite line between dead and untreated CC. The green grass remained. I showed the photos to a friend and neighbor who are now also users of Salacia. I purchased 2 more bags. Yes...it's that effective. Organic too. Best of both worlds. Please see photos.

Major over taking by violet, ivy and dandelions

Moved to Jackson, Michigan from Arizona 4 months ago. Among many other things that needed attention was the lawn. Unfortunately I have a neighbor who doesn’t have a problem with having a yard of weeds. I on the other hand like a thick lush grass covered lawn. I hand dug an area along his property and seeded it. It’s doing nicely, but I am 75 and not looking forward to doing that again, especially to 4 thousand square feet. So I found this brand on line, and was impressed because it was not available in the store. I am totally impressed and satisfied with the results from the product, and will definitely keep using it to keep the invasive weeds from my lovely neighbor out of my yard.

The product does work; sadly creeping charlie is an opportunistic little b**ch. I did though, read the directions wrong (they could be clearer for sure), and ended up using 4 c per gal, instead of the 3 c per gal that I should have.

works for me

I've used this mostly on ground ivy. Does the job. Think I'll finally get ahead of it this year.
