Hi,


I've found some patches of grass that grow really fast and I wonder if
someone could identify it for me please.


How to get rid of it would be nice to know too.



It looks like a rough undesirable grass, possibly poa trivialis, rough
stalk bluegrass. The bad news is, with the grass type weed problem,
the usual broadleaf weedkillers are ineffective, because it's a grass,
not a weed. And often there is no available effective herbicide at
all. You may have to use Roundup on it and then re-seed.

Thanks in advance,
Steven


Does it look like this when left to just grow?

If so, then it's dallisgrass which I'm trying to get rid of. *No solution for
this as I'm still struggling with it.
