Invincible Weed? I hope not!
I have been fighting a weed for a few years now, all to no avail. It
is sometimes called 'wiregrass'. sometimes 'witchgrass', I think. It grows long 'stringers' below and above ground, and when I pull one up, sometimes the 'stringer' is a foot or two long! Terrible stuff. I have tried a few weed killers, such as Weed-B-Gone, and weed killers in Turf Builder. I think the danged weed feeds on that. The local nursery tells me that you can't kill it except by using a vegetation killer, which of course would kill grass and everything. I hate to think of doing that. I guess I have a few questions. First, is a vegetation killer my only choice? If not, what else can I try? If so, when do I apply it? In the Fall? Second, how soon after something as drastic as that can I then plant grass seed? Seems to me that the killer would exist in the soil for a while. Maybe years? Thanks -GECKO |
