I have tried everythi g to get rid of wire grass but it has very strong roots that invade my flower beds and are al.ost impossible to pull out or kill. Help!
Check with your local nursery
Pour vinegar and salt over it. Do not do this in your lawn, only on driveways and walks.
Couldnt help , twitch it around? It should straighten out and grow tall? Or?? KEEP MOWER BLADE?, lower? Then ull soon won't have any more, OR????? T
I have the same problem in parts of my lawn. Here is a link to a site that has really good information: https://www.rhs.org.uk/Advice/profile?PID=283
Hi Julie,
Keeping your grass cut short regularly can help, but twitch (or couch) grass also has rhizomes. To get all of the grass out, you need to kill or remove those rhizomes. Check out this article to see if it helps you. Wishing you the best.
