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>

Q: What kills weeds down to the root?

• <div><p>There are many options to eradicate weeds right down to the roots. Vinegar works, but it takes a week or so to do its thing, and the same goes for many commercially available herbicides. Boiled water is a quick way to kill off roots, or you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/controlling-weeds-yard-and-garden.htm">pull up weeds</a> at the root.</p></div>

Q: How do you kill weeds without killing grass?

• <div><p>Very carefully. You should be cautious when using any of the above methods, as any one of them could lead to you accidentally killing desired grasses and plants. However, there are selective herbicides that can target certain plants over others. Look for a product that only affects the type of weeds you want to eliminate and spares the plants you want to keep. </p></div>

Q: How often should I remove weeds?

• <div><p>Pulling weeds once per month is typically often enough to keep most weeds at bay. But in general, it's best to pull weeds as soon as you spot them to prevent deep root growth and slow their spread. To make it easier, plan your weed pulling after rain or after the sprinklers run so the soil will be nice and wet and the weeds will be easier to pull. If you notice moss accompanying weeds, make a plan to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-get-rid-of-moss-on-driveway.htm">remove the moss</a> immediately to prevent damage.</p></div>
