What is the weed grass that starts out low and seems to be quite

Japanese stilt grass (Microstegium vimineum). (And it *is* quite
invasive!)

what the heck do you do about it, short of pulling every little piece
by hand?

In small areas, it's easy to pull by hand (though it will continue to come
back for a number of years). In larger areas . . . I don't know. We have
more then an acre of the stuff.

Good luck,
