"'Mike'" wrote in message ... One question. Why have you got one? Mike Keep that hoe going after you have cut ALL stems ;-) It crept in from further down the row of gardens behind - not quite sure where it originated as it seems to be going/coming in/from all directions! They`re very pretty in the right place but not invading a smallish garden (or three). Pat Pat I quite agree with you. In a small garden a nightmare :-(( You can only attack it and knock it out every time it appears. I missed the original post but here is a method that can be used where you don't want to spray. First put on rubber gloves and then cotton gloves over them. Soak the cotton layer with Roundup or other weedkiller and then wipe the offending plant. This will also work if you are trying to get rid of quack grass in your flower beds. Graam |

Graam That's good advice Graham, that's my method as well as stuffing it into sandwich bags and sloshing just a little Roundup in the bag, twist seal and leave, it will be taken down to the roots and that should sort it out.

Judith I must admit that I've been doing more spraying of Roundup this year as I'm re-arranging the garden layout near the house and I've been toooo busy with professional work to get down on my hands and knees. I had the lawn to the side of the house re-sodded last year and I notice that some quack grass is invading from next door. The lawns adjoin as there is no fence between us so I will have to be careful with any treatment. Graham |

Graham Put down a plank Graham on the dividing line with your neighbours, then any spray that may escape your grass will land on the plank and not their grass. Judith |
