Garden Plants
How do you get lawn grass out of garden plants.?
Lawn grass has migrated into garden with small, crowded stems. How can I get the grass out without hurting the other plants?
A good method is to mulch your garden area with at least 2-3 inches of mulch (being careful to not put the full amount around your plants all at one time, you need to add a little at a time immediately next to the plants to let them get used to the new depth of material). The grass will find it difficult to grow because of no contact with the soil. Some grass might still come through, but it will be light and can easily be pulled or trimmed.
I like to use a mulch made from melaluca. It is an imported problem plant that is depleating the Florida Everglades. By using it, it promotes the destruction of this invasive species and slows the harvesting of cypress.
