What is an effective to way to kill morning glories without killing the lawn or harming the dogs?

"weed and Feed" a product you can get at any garden center. Sprinkle on and water in. It feeds as it gets rid of weeds and broad leaf plants. Morning glory is extremely hard to get rid of, the root system make go as deep as five feet. There are selective herbicides you can get a farm and ranch stores but they are quite expensive. You just keep up the routine of the weed and feed through out the season you will get a good kill on the weeds. However with this particular weed you will prob. have to apply each year.

As for your pets. Follow the directions on the weed and feed package. This is only toxic while it is wet. The package will give you a time-zone according to your coverage in which your pets can return. Just keep them off the lawn for that period of time specified and all will be fine.

Good luck (have those little glory-boogers myself)

Happy Gardnening and God Bless

Pull them.
Reply:morning glories are an annual flower ...they should only be there if you plant them there. to get rid of them all you have to do is pull them out, but make sure that they are the actual flowers that you have in that spot. Some perennial flowers could look like morning glories but actually they aren't. Make sure you verify them first.
Reply:my morning glories come back year after year so I would say that some types are in fact perennial. you will have to go deep because they do grow very deep roots as the first answer says.
Reply:Depends how eco-friendly you want to be. The easiest way is to spray the m/g's with Roundup mixed with a tablespoon of dishsoap. Do NOT get spray on grass or other plants and keep dogs away until m/g's are dry.



Other options:



Pour boiling water on m/g's, it'll kill them (and anything else you satuarate) This is also good for sidewalk/driveway weeds.



Cover m/g's w/ black plastic and weight it in place. When the sun hits the plastic, the high temp will kill the plant. Leave in place for a week.
