The message
from turf doc contains these words:

Sounds like you need some round up! its non residual which meen it will
only be effective for around 24 hour. I'm not sure what your up to but
if you want to kill of any of the longer / taller grasses then you can
use a wip wipe techneic to alow the plants beneth to come through. If
your looking to just clear the area then keep digging! you could hire a
varity of power tools from places like A plant etc. rotovate and then
rake.
good luck


*NEVER*, but *NEVER* rotavate over couch, even if you think you've
killed it all.

You haven't.

How very true!. Use a rotovater and you chop up the roots of the couch
grass.
That has drastic consequences. Twenty thousand will appear where only two
thousand existed before. You have to work at it slowly as the years roll on
and slowly grubbing 'em out as best you can, and you may, - I say may, -
clear it.
