It will kill over 50 different Lawn weeds including, but not limited to,
chickweeds, clover, ground ivy and black medick, dandelions,
lamb's-quarters, mustards, peppergrass, plantains, shepherd's purse,
smartweeds, wild buckwheat, lady's-thumb, Russian thistle, sow-thistle,
hedge bindweed, corn spurry, knotweed, volunteer cultivated buckwheat,
common ragweed, cocklebur, stinkweed, prostrate pigweed, redroot , bull
thistle, chicory, goat's beard, ragwort, white cockle, poison-ivy,
alder and sheep-laurel.
Try it on the goutweed, what have you got to loose? If it doesn't work,
use Round Up! Good Luck!
