Will buffalo grass take over weeds?

• <div><p>Buffalo grass is not a dense grass, so weeds can grow between the buffalo grass plants. However, as long as you don’t overwater your lawn, weeds have a hard time growing. If you do notice weeds, you can use granular herbicides that are safe for buffalo grass in early and late summer.</p></div>

How do you kill quack grass without killing grass?

• <div><p>The most effective way to eliminate quack grass without killing the grass nearby is to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/overseed-lawn-guide.htm">overseed the area</a>, keep the seed wet until it grows, mow often, and regularly fertilize the area to promote healthy grass that can choke out the invasive weed. </p></div>

Is pulling weeds a waste of time?

• <div><p>No, definitely not. Pulling weeds by hand is the single most effective way to remove them because you're eliminating the entire plant—roots and all—so it won’t have a chance to grow or spread. Setting time aside a few times per week to pull weeds can keep them at bay. If the number of weeds gets overwhelming, then you can resort to other methods. </p></div>
