How to get rid of: In gravel areas both annual and perennial weeds can be controlled with the application of apost-emergent herbicide. Post-emergent meaning it controls weeds that have already sprouted and are growing. Easy to control in the home garden by hand-pulling, cultivation, and the application of mulch. In large, landscaped areas herbicides may also be necessary.
