I have Black Medic, among other weeds, in parts of my yard. If you let it grow unabated, it will grow a long taproot. Florida sandy soil is easy to penetrate so it grows an even longer than usual taproot, I believe. I have pulled this weed with a taproot over a foot long. Other soils may not allow such a long root, I don’t know. While Black Medic may be a nuisance, it is by no means my worst weed problem. Purple Nutsedge, Rattlesnake Root, Dichondria, Oxalis and Dollar Weed are much higher on my list of problems..................

Why would you want to? It’s beautiful plant. Use it for background or borders. Native plants make the best landscapes...............

When using RoundUp, it is important that the target plant is dry. No watering, no dew, no rain, for a couple of days after treatment.

The goal is to get the plant to drink the RoundUp like water or dew.

Timing and preparation is very important.

I have never met anything that RoundUp will not kill. Just lucky I guess.

Another method of killing plants more naturally is to buy some chem fertilizer as strong as you can find like 20-20-20.

Just dump it on what ever you want to kill. I mean dump it! Pile it on. Very effective. I’ve killed full grown trees like this.

Just my stupid opinion...good luck guys

uhhh if you Round-Up what is onh hyour side of the fence, being a systemic, it will hit the root system on the other side of the fence.

I did that, joking that I was only going to kill the stuff on my side, but it seems to thrive on RoundUp.

You might try the Weed Science Society site (NOT the Weed Society—totally different animal/vegetable/whatever) if you don’t mind sifting through tons of photos and descriptors.
