dogdoc Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Re: Question for you guys! love grass produces tons of seeds--that is why it is so hard to eradicate. You can burn and disc but there are thousands of seeds on the surface or just under the surface ready to take off. It might take a few years to eradicate and you might check with a county extension office to get the best plan. i would think a good dose of roundup mid spring then wait about 2 weeks and disc. This should stimulate most your seeds--the continue spraying throughout the summer. Like i said it might take 2 growing season to get love grass free. good luck todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockefeller66 Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Re: Question for you guys! I would try a grass herbicide like grass-be-gone, never tried it but we are gonna spray for grass in our plots next year and this is the stuff we are gonna try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Re: Question for you guys! Would think a strong enough concentration of roundup should take care of it with a couple of applications while you are in the process of working the ground like Todd suggests.
