I have thoroughly sprayed RoundUp onto monkey grass that is growing
out-of-bounds. I have already sprayed it 6-7 times in the past 2
weeks, yet it is still green. The last 3 times I mixed the RoundUp
triple strength, still no result. It is a new bottle of RoundUp. Is
there something about RoundUp and Monkey Grass I don't understand? How
can Monkey grass be controlled? I want to plant fescue grass (this
week) after it dies out. When I try to pull it out, it just breaks
off.


Ooh, now THAT is encouraging!!!

I'm trying to get Monkey Grass established as a front lawn. (I have full
shade).

That stuff is SO expensive to purchase! Around $1.20 for a 4" plug/pot.

DIG it up and send it to me!!! I'll pay you for it.

Seriously. PLEASE!

Especially if you are willing to compete on pricing.

Hint: Monkey grass is not a grass. That is why Roundup is not working.

I am in Central Texas.


Removing the monkey grass is the issue. Whether a grass or not, I
thought RoundUp worked on any green plant. I mostly use RoundUp for
poison ivy which it does a good job.

I wonder if it is legal to ship this (invasive and stubborn) plant!
Nothing eats or kills it. I may end up burning it.
