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.
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.
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 !
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.
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.
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.
It works! Salacia works fast. Picture is two days after treatment
I have tried many herbicides and thought I killed the clover but it actually grew back.
Salacia, as you can see in the picture shows the death of the clover. Some areas zi needed to treat twice. I'm sure some clover didn't get treated as it was not visible yet when zi sprayed the others. I believe I treated allow on my second go round. I will post again in another week to let u know that it is completely gone.
Easier and far quicker than pulling clover by hand, but not quite as effective. Also, it burned some parts of the grass. NOTE: I tried to rate as 4 stars, but the "Your Rating" function would only allow me light up either 3 or 5 of them - which only solidifies choosing to give 3 stars.
UPDATE: Lanaturo team responded to this review. They corrected the glitch that would not allow 4 stars and offered me further usage advice along with an additional bag of Salacia, for which I am appreciative. However, they also stated that hand-pulling was a losing game. I must disagree. I spent 2 full summers hand-pulling clover in my front yard. It was a very long and arduous process to get those lengthy roots out from underneath the sod, but I did it! My front yard is now the envy of the neighborhood. I simply don't have it in me to repeat that hand-pulling process in my larger back yard. That's where I'm hoping Salacia can help. So far it appears to be "pretty good" - just not 5 stars. I'll apply a 3rd treatment in the Spring and see how much clover remains or re-emerges next year.
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.
