We have one of your grasses that made it into Australia as packaging for Whiskey and it has become a major weed. When it dies, it releases a natural herbicide that is not much good for other vegetation.

I am not sure what you call it but we call it Whiskey Grass Andropogon virginicus.
Apparently, we are being punished for being drunkards. *Blush*
The problem is that when you are young your life it is ruined by your parents. When you are older it is ruined by your children.
