I live in Oklahoma and I bought my house from an elderly lady. Apparently she didn`t mow the grass very often and I have about 2 1/2 acr. of sand burrs. I have been mowing the yard once a week to try and kill the sand burrs out, but they seem to be growing along the ground and still producing stickers. I have tried to drig them out, but their are so many it is almost impossible. Can anyone recommend a sticker kill that I can spray on them to kill them? Please instead of replying on the message board, please email me at OUSoonerPIP@cs.com

Any help would be greatly appreciated!Thank you very much and I enjoy this site alot.

I’ve always been told sandburs can’t stand prosperity,in other words as dd as it sounds fertilize those devils into oblivion . It has worked for me on two of my previous houses.

Tony,

Not to sound like a prude, but you have posted the same question in 3 out of the 5 forums I have scanned. This is called “Cross Posting” by forum regulars, and is considered bad form.

Again, I gave an answer to your question here —> https://turfgrass.com/ubb/Forum10/HTML/000079.html

Also, the person who said to fertilize it has a good idea. I have seen other folks do that with success.

Good luck!
