some city workers threw some fescue seed into my yard and now
it has sprouted and grows so fast i have to cut it every few days.
is there someway to get rid of the fescue without hurting my zoysia?
i am thinking of some kind of chemical preparation?

thanx,

k.
I don't know your zone, but if your zoysia goes completely dormant in the
winter (turns brown with no green), the fescue can be removed in January or
February by spraying it with RoundUp. I did that to the fescue in my bermuda
lawn. I have to admit there was some kill to the bermuda and small bare
spots, but it quickly filled in during the spring and summer, and the fescue
is gone. Be selective in where you spray the RoundUp so that it only hits
areas with green fescue.
