Sticky Willie

Posted by Tracy Meharg, on
This weed has just starting growing and it's spreading everywhere. Can you get rid of it completely or will it keep coming back?

Hi Tracy, Thanks for your question! Unfortunately it is an annual weed, but you can control it easily. The best way to control sticky willy is to start pulling it out as soon as it appears and before it seeds. Preventing it from seeding is the best way to control it. Make sure you wear gloves and appropriate clothing as it can cause irritation on your skin! Hope this helps! Thanks, Alex Ask an Expert team
