Spray that will kill grass only?
 
There are a few areas where the grass is taking over and I'd like to find a
way to spray out the grass without killing the other plants filling in. I've
pretty much pulled all that I can, but some of it is difficult to get and
and I always miss some.

Can someone suggest a spray that will kill grass only? Also wondering what
other types of plants I should avoid spraying with this chemical.

Thanks!

Unless the other plants that you wish to preserve are hardy, shrubs I am
afraid that you are out of luck. There is no such chemical that I have ever
heard of.

Got that right, Peter. Round-up kills everything but doesn't poison
the soil. I've had fair success with a wick application and 5%
tracker dye added to the mix. You still have to be careful tho.

I'd test it on a small area first.

Even if you do find something the says it "kills grass only" I'd recommend
you to avoid applying it to *any* vegetation you don't want dead.

I don't know of anything that kills grass only, but maybe someday soon
there will be. We all know Roundup kills just about anything. Yet,
they have genetically engineered crops like soybeans and cotton so they
can be sprayed with it. The weeds die and the soybeans live. I was
pretty amazed when I first learned that!
