Works well

I used it for the first time a little late in the season, but I still saw results! Creeping Charlie was dying just a day or two after application!

Creeping Charlie taking over my lawn

The product worked at the selective 3 cups/gallon ratio, but required two treatments done two weeks apart. The attached photo is an area of my lawn after two treatments where the ground ivy was at least 50% of the ground cover before treatment. Now the grass is thriving and I didn’t even need to reseed after treatment. I liked the product especially because I have a water well nearby some of the areas that I treated.

Best ever

I have really bad Creeping Charlie. I did a spot test with a water bottle using 9 Tablespoons. It all wilted in one day! Can’t wait to use it fully with a backpack sprayer.

It works on Creeping Charlie

But it took a lot of effort with 3 applications. Still better than harsh chemicals as the lawn survived and I didn’t need protective clothing.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 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.

Creeping charlie creeps no more

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.

Eye opening first application

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.
