advice for twitch infested lawn
My lawn is badly infested with unsightly twitch. Last autumn I sprayed the
worst of it with Roundup, but this seems to have had little effect and it has grown back in the same places it was in last year. Regular mowing, loads of water and and a good dose of fertilizer/deweeder in the spring don't seem to have affected it much this year either. What should I do? I don't really want to seriously attack it with Roundup and relay, not least because the experiment with Roundup last year did not make much difference. Should I just persevere for a few years with lots of mowing/water/fertilizer in the hope that the real grass eventually drowns it out? |

advice for twitch infested lawn
If you would be so kind, what is twitch? I finally have to ask,
following many years occasional encounters with this (apparently British) word. If it is one of the perennial, creeping, invasive grasses such as our witch grass, if is definitely a problem, but not beyond reach. The close mowing done in much of Britain should help, but I dasn't venture further till I know what twitch is!
