» Feature Writer Georgene A. Bramlage - How do I successfully get rid of grass growing in my landscaping

In response to How do I successfully get rid of grass growing in my landscaping posted by sunrae138:
Aurae,

I have just finished an article about weeds, including grasses, in flower beds: Weeds in Garden Landscapes
Remove and Control to Minimize Landscape Maintenance [http://landscaping.suite101.com/article....

I share your apprehension about using herbicides, but suggest that you include one of the least personally offensive in your "menu" of strategies if the problem is severe.

BTW, I do not like "black plastic" - it is photodegardable and makes a mess as it starts to break down. Of course, there are also problems with landscape fabric. These issues are discussed in my series of articles about landscape fabrics which starts with: Landscape Fabric for Projects: Pros and Cons [landscaping.suite101.com/article.cfm/landscape_fabric_pros__cons]


If you have questions which the article does not answer, or need elaboration, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Cheers!
