Q&A - How do I control chamber bitter?

[@6996katmom]

Mine shows up everywhere, but it is mostly in my asparagus bed. I take a chair and sit there and pull it out all the time. I can't spray because I finally got a good bed of asparagus.

Cute things, but yes, they are a pest!

I dont like to call any plant a weed but this one is so much of a weed I cannot tell you lol. I'm an avid puller but this one is so hard to keep up

[@TCgirl]

It’s kind of pretty. Can it be grown as an indoor house plant? Or is that just crazy?

[@karlagrant3405]

Oh, my goodness, yes, and it is also called gripe weed! And I 've done my share of griping about it.

Nice info

I've been fighting this in my raised vegetable garden beds to 3 years to no avail. They spread like wildfire and I can't pull them fast enough. My question is should I just suppress and kill everything with a tarp and start fresh next year? I know I will kill my soil doing that, this is why I haven't done it thus far. I don't want chemicals in it. At a loss? Thanks in advance.

Yeah I'm at the same point with this weed.. bout to start it aflame 🤣 I don't treat my lawn area so I don't mind but this one pops up like crazy and spreads to my beds. I say the best for what ur speaking is laying cardboard and then mulch on top.

O gee 😮 this weed has taken over my lawn. I am in zone 8A-clay soil.

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

If it is all over your yard look into pre-emergents. They stop the plant before it grows. This will help reduce the seed bank in the soil without having to constantly spray.

[@navyjohnes]

@@FamilyPlotGarden Thank you.

[@snakejumper3277]

It's an invasive species from S. America. Try a pre-emergeant in July. They don't drop seeds in springtime like normal weeds.
