Invasive weed/grass in my lawn
hrbob said:
I have the invasive grass/weed shown in the picture in many places in my lawn. The spots of weeds pop up with no apparent source. They do no respond to weed killer, and they crowd out regular lawn grass. I am in the Chicago suburbs. Can anyone tell me what the grayish green grass/weed is and how to get rid of it? http://www.flickr.com/photos/bobhofmann/4761771580/ Not crabgrass, as crabgrass is an annual. Could be Nimblewill: http://www.msuturfweeds.net/details/_/nimblewill_44/ It's perennial, has the leaf blades coming off of stalks so blends horribly with typical lawn grasses, starts growing late, turns brown early. You can spot treat with something like Roundup (or try dig it out) and then patch with good seed or sod. I've got some patches of it way in the back, and it doesn't play nice with the other grasses at all. Nor is it pleasant to walk on. -- Pat in Plymouth MI "Vegetables are like bombs packed tight with all kinds of important nutrients..." --Largo Potter, Valkyria Chronicles email valid but not regularly monitored |
