Tips needed. Getting rid of rogue grass.

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Looking for advice on killing grass.

I have a huge amount of what I know as 'bull grass' in the corner of my yard. This stuff grows about 4 feet in a little over a week, especially this time of year. I don't own the property so don't want to put something on it that won't allow anything else to grow in that spot but I get sick of slashing this stuff down all the time.

Does anybody know of a good weed/grass killer that won't cause long term damage to the area?

Cheers

Round Up - as long as you dont mix your drinks with it you can't go wrong

Haven't cut the grass around the house for 3 months. When it needs cutting, we let the 1.5 horses in and the jobs done.

Roundup's good though as it doesn't affect the soil. If you know any farmers, scab some off them. Way cheaper through the farm suppliers than hardwares and a much more powerful brew.

How do you let in one and a half horses? Is it a clysdale and a shetland hand in hand, or hoof in hoof.

A Welsh mountain pony and a miniature pony that's barely bigger than the dogs. Might breed from it this year. I reckon the foal will be at risk from the cats.

Which is the mare.... ?

ANyway - another vote for round-up. Just don't try it vines as they are immune, use a special vine-killer for that.

Definantly Round Up, get the concentrate and mix it with water, it lasts longer.

They both are - one didn't beget the other.

Once you;ve killed it, if you leave it bare, it will just grow back.

1 years seed = seven years weed.

if it is cheap you are after, layers of newspaper, or an old carpet from a roadside junk collection will stop weeds coming back up.

Becareful with round up, it kills just about everything.
Roundup is absorb through the leaf of the plant, make sure you keep round up well away from the plants you want to keep.
It is best to spray on a calm day, many a good plant have died, because of wind blowing roundup around the garden.

Read the label, there are different strengths of round up, you probably only need one with around 300g/l of glyphosate.

Just say it's not yours and you don't know how it got there.
