DaisyI said:I've never heard of "Quack Grass" and after reading about it, I have no clue (sort of sounds like Burmuda Grass) but did find this from University of Minnesota agricultural extension. That's close to Missouri, right? Smiling

Actually, this article isn't all that helpful. I can tell you about Cheatgrass. Rolling on the floor laughing

I'll go away now....


Actually your link was useful Thumbs up

It says to apply a nitrogen based fertilizer to encourange growth of the underground runners -this will help to ensure that topical herbicides are more effective. I didn't know that. Not sure what all that nitrogen would do to my plants though.
I clearly should have tried to get rid of this BEFORE planting the garden, but I didn't know what it was or that it was a problem, until later.
