I am not sure what you call it, but in some areas of my lawm, there are
patches of grass that are hard and tough.
Other than trying to pull it out, does anyone know what I can do to get
rid of it.
I understand that come July/August, it will spread even more due to seeds.
Thanks.
Corinne

If you sprayed it with a grass-- herbicide- I would think it would do
the trick. Ortho use to have a product--Veg Kill" that if you sprayed
it on it would kill any and evrything. But am not sure if it is still
available. Talk to your local garden shop.

If by getting rid of it, you mean non selectively killing it, Roundup
(glyphosate), which will kill most vegetation, will do the trick. You
can reseed a week later. But depending on where you are, it's late to
be seeding now. You may want to wait till Fall.

Yes, I have Roundup and it kills most everything. I am just afraid the
spray will bleed into my healthy lawn. There are just a few patches of
this hard grass.
I don't always explain myself too well.
Many thanks.

Thank you. I will do that.
This is tucked into some very lush and green lawn. I bought this house
a year ago, and the lawn has come a long way. I just need to get rid
of a few patches of this hard grass.
Hopefully, what is recommended will not kill everything, but just the
hard grass.
Thanks.
