We are more interested in getting rid of couch grass.



It's called bermuda grass in the US.

Doesn't make it any easier to get rid of but sounds so much more
exotic.


The common UK grass/weed known to UK gardeners as couch grass is
Elymus repens.

It's not Cynodon dactylon/bermuda grass.

Thanks - I am disappointed now ... Although it is also known as
witchgrass according to the wiki
