"miniature bamboo" grass
What is the weed grass that starts out low and seems to be quite invasive? And, more than what is it, what the heck do you do about it, short of pulling every little piece by hand? It is growing in among my ivy and other bed areas where I cannot spray.
Thanks! I'm just getting accustomed to this southern gardening...

"miniature bamboo" grass
Japanese stilt grass, microstegium, is nasty and invasive. Do your best to
control it. Here is some info on it:http://www.nps.gov/plants/alien/fact/mivi1.htm For control, I've found that Ornamec herbicide works well and does not harm most of my ornamental plants. Manufactured by PBGordon. This article has info about treating the stilt grass: http://ipm.ppws.vt.edu/weeds/Microstegium.pdf Get rid of as much as you can before it goes to seed in late August/September. The seeds are viable for several years and will spread throughout your yard. Good luck. |

(And it *is* quite invasive!) what the heck do you do about it, short of pulling every little piece by hand? In small areas, it's easy to pull by hand (though it will continue to come back for a number of years). In larger areas . . . I don't know. We have more then an acre of the stuff. Good luck, -- Steve |
