The weed has been spreading in my yard quickly. I used a general weed
control liquid bought from Wal-Mart last year, but seems not working.

What kind of weed is this? Do we have to use something special to handle it?

Thanks,

John


Very hard to tell from the picture, but it looks a lot like perennial
rye grass. A neighbor planted some a few years ago to have a green
lawn over winter. Now it's spread over the whole neighborhood & I've
been fighting it all spring. Broadleaf weed killer doesn't phase it.
Thank goodness it's shallow rooted so it can be pulled up by hand.
