I have a 4x8 raised bed that is 95% full of Johnson Grass. At first I thought it was part of the asparagus, but as the years progressed and I tried weeding it as it would come up fresh in the spring, but pulling it only made it worse as it split the roots! I never knew what it was and finally got it figured out from Dave (thank you), the horrible weed/grass is Johnson grass... I'm guessing it came with the asparagus roots that I planted because I don't have Johnson grass anywhere on our property that I know of....
Any ideas on how I can get rid of it? I'd really like to stay away from an herbicide... because it's a vegetable garden bed. Also sad to loose my asparagus bed... that's on it's 5th year...
We were thinking about using the tractor with the bucket and lifting all that dirt out with roots and all... but what do we do with the dirt? You can't burn dirt/roots etc, right? If we dump it somewhere on the property it'll grow and spread I'm sure of it. Nasty stuff.
Anyone know how to get rid of Johnson Grass?
