Works as advertised,
I started by treating a little section. I was amazed, and glad, at how it cleared it out. I found that I may need a second application if there were a whole bunch of wild violets together. I plan to try it on the Clover, dandelions and crabgrass. So far it meets my expectations.
Finally an effective solution to managing creeping charlie
Finally found an effective solution to managing the creeping charlie problem without causing harm to the environment! Yes, creeping charlie has wonderful medicinal benefits, but I don't want it in my vegetable or flower beds. Didn't realize the lawn guy who used to mow my neighbor's yard sprayed to create a barrier. He no longer does the yard, and this is the result of years of not maintaining the yard. Tried smothering with cardboard, didn't work. I put metal edging against the fence line. It helps to create a barrier, making it easier to pull up by the roots, but it has to be done constantly. I have raised garden beds I built against the fence, and a hard-to-reach patch was trying to make its way in. I finally had enough. Tried another product with no success. Saw this on Instagram and decided to give it one more try, and it worked on day one. I use a Worx sprayer with an adjustable wand that can get behind hard-to-reach areas. Like it's in a powder form versus liquid, which helps to save money.
Lawn was overrun with creeping charlie. Opted to not use toxic weed killer as there is too much wildlife grazing so tried Salacia. It works ! Got a little too greedy and over applied so some grass died but next area was done a bit more sparingly. A battery powered sprayer works perfectly. Running on high pump volume requires faster motion across the affected area but that worked perfectly. Grass was fine, but charlie was DOA.
Used it on clover with a backpack sprayer in the morning. Started turning brown later that same day. Next day clover was pretty much dead. A few days later sprayed a second time on a few spots that didn’t completely die. Very pleased with results. Make sure you clean your sprayer well afterwards, especially any inline filters because salty powder tends to cling to filter and will stop flow of spray if you don’t pay attention to it. Overall great product and didn’t have to worry about harmful chemicals affecting our dog playing in yard after it dried.
This stuff works and I don't feel guilty using it to kill weeds, especially because I have kids who like to play outside. I am trying to start my lawn over from scratch. It is taking a lot of time and effort mixing the powder with solution and spraying but it seems to be paying off. I have used both selective and non-selective rates.
Sprayed the creeping Charlie as directed, within a couple hrs., could see some curling.
Next day, looked like a holocaust... I haven't had time to retreat, so its starting to come back but the leaves are smaller. I'll hit it again soon, and before fall hits hard.
Would like to see the clover and some others go too, but we'll see after a couple more battles.
First application to thickest growth of white clover saw immediate results. Have applied the product in various locations with varying results. Believe it will eventually take care of the problem. Temperatures have been too high to be able to continue the applications. Realized the product would also stop wild violet which is quickly becoming a problem. Ordered the second bag of product for that reason. Very pleased with results so far.
Ez to mix and use killed the weed in couple of days.
There were spots I had to spray again and it killed the weed. Seems like this is the season for oxalis keep coming up in other spots but Salacia seem to be winning. I'll buy it again does work.
I've been using this product to try to eliminate Creeping Charlie in my lawn. After approximately 6 weeks and several treatments I have seen a significant improvement. The Creeping Charlie is embedded within the grass and has proven tough to fully eradicate. However, it has been greatly reduced after each successive treatment. The grass initially turns brown but recovers after a couple of weeks. This product is far more effective than anything I have used in the past and would recommend it to anyone trying to fight this difficult adversary.
I have a horrible weed that started to take over my lawn. It killed the weeds and not my grass.

did not kill a dandelion
Was disappointed with the product. I have had to move on to something else. Pulling the weeds individually.....

It works
As I have pets using my lawn, I had hesitated using weed control for years. Such a luxury to be able to clean my lawn of unwanted weeds that had “gotten out of hand”. I did need to spray certain areas up to three times but no more weed pulling!
Looking great!

Worked, but also killed grass
It worked on all weeds, but also killed the grass. I followed the formula suggested and need to adjust it down next time. A lot more yard is left to be worked on, so, plenty of opportunities to experiment with the ratio. A little on the expensive side, but, I use a product if I can work it without gloves, and no issues here. Seems it is safe for the environment.

works well, even on bindweed
I bought this product mainly to use in my grassy areas, which were being taken over by bindweed. The product works well on regular weeds, so I am able to actually plant a garden among the (former) stubborn weeds here in northern Montana. The bindweed needs multiple applications, but for the first time I have hope that I will have a lovely yard with plants of my choosing. It still needs vigilance, and I spray some areas multiple times, as the roots are very deep and keep popping up, so I will order more product to keep repeating applications. The experts on the question line dod mention that this would be the case, so no surprises. For the first time since I took over this weed-ridden property, it is looking good and I am actually having fun!

Weeds were brown in less than a day
Mainly creeping charlie. We had a bad infestation. It is greatly reduced. It's obvious where the weeds were missed with the spray. So a followup spraying is needed, but it will be easy to tell where it needs to be sprayed. We're impressed with the product.

Absolutely amazing
My yard was full of a couple of different kinds of clover. After the first treatment we noticed a difference within an hour of application! It was amazing! We've had to treat a few spots three to four times, but each treatment gets more and more of the clover and it's definitely not coming back! Highly, highly recommend this product!
