Help with Killing Grass in Garden

We have the same problem:( My brother is a landscape architect and knows quite a bit about horticulture. He basically told me there's nothing you can do except stay on top of weeding:( We've been so bad this year that I took a weed-wacker to it yesterday! I will try to pull up the roots today...argh:(

You can also ask a professional there. His name is Mike. He may have some expert answers. If you decide this place is helpful to you, would you mention that I referred you to them.

hi K. when we plant our tomatoes green peppers radishes etc we go and put news papers around each of the plant and in the middle of the rows. we have to do this every time we plant but it does help control the weeks. Good luck

You pull the grass, put down plastic between the garden rows and use mulch. It won't get rid of all of it but at least 90% will be gone.

HI K.,
with the grass starting to come back now after the frost you should try putting layers of news paper ontop of the grass area you don't want , I'm assuming between your veggie plants? this works the best, is organic and will keep the soils nutrients and integrity that is needs for your vegetable production...if you spray poisen , you will eat it with your vegies too, remember that!!! Newspaper layering : a layer of newspaper, water it, and cover with mulch or new dirt to hide newspaper..and you can make the layers as thick as you want!
good luck :)

hi K.,
I have been and organic gardener for nearly 20 years, and I understand your frustration with grass growing in your garden. You don't say what kind of garden, so I'll assume this is a veggie garden rather than a flower garden. There are 2 main ways to get rid of grass: mechanically or chemically. Mechanically you can till, dig, plow, or otherwise disrupt the roots of the grass so it does not come back. Chemically you can use really yucky stuff that you wouldn't want to grow food with anymore, or you could use vinegar or very hot water. Using a vinegar solution (about 1 part vinegar to 4 parts water) is likely going to be more successful than hot water. To help this process after applying the vinegar, you can cover the area with layers of newspapers and/or black plastic to finish off the grass. Then keep the area covered until you are ready to prepare your soil for next spring planting. I hope this is helpful.

I tilled up the ground to pull up all of the old roots of the grass, and now I just weed it every chance I get. It doesn't keep the grass from growing, but it keeps it from getting out of hand!
