What herbicide is best for orchard grass control?

• <div><p>Glyphosate and other non-selective herbicides can kill orchard grass, but they will also kill the surrounding plants. Also, not all areas allow the use of glyphosate due to its environmental impact—<a href="https://www.epa.gov/ingredients-used-pesticide-products/glyphosate">which the EPA describes</a> as a "potential risk to terrestrial and aquatic plants and birds, and low toxicity to honeybees." Consider mechanical removal to target the plants specifically.</p><p></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>

We have a 25 acre property, which includes a field of around 7 acres that was very overgrown. Weeds and grass were waist high and Murf and his John Deere were able to cut it down. They were on-time and did what they said they would do. We will use them a few times a year going forward. We trust...
