Spot-Treating Invasive Grass in Mixed Plantings with Glyphosate

Quackgrass Control in Shrub Bed

Weed blanket fails against aggressive rhizomatous grasses. Precise glyphosate application works:

1. Pour Roundup into disposable bowl.
2. Wear gloves; calm day only.
3. Paint herbicide onto grass crowns at base with a brush.
4. Avoid contact with desirable plants.

Grass dies in 1–2 weeks; glyphosate degrades in 24 hours. Used successfully for quince suckers.
