It's a b*****d to dig out because you have to get all the roots out to stop it growing back, plus, it's likely to come back anyway because wherever the seeds in your grass came from, it's probably still there, waiting to scatter its load all over your lawn (ooh er). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From that I'll read between the lines and think "waste of time bothering, sit back and watch the golf highlights instead". Cheers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Excellent choice. That's what I'd do! Don't even think about trying to consider thinking about a way to start thinking about trying to work out a way to consider thinking about getting couch grass out. Its a bugger. That'll be why it's called couch grass, huh? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
