[Ag-eq] Getting rid of grass

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Nella.
I don't have Bermuda grass in my beds, but I have crabgrass and millet.  I 
just keep digging it up, and trying to turn my beds well.  I missed turning 
most of them in the fall, which is best, so I'll have to do it this spring, 
which tends to be wetter.

The birds planted some prosso millet by the birdfeeder a while back, and I 
thought it was pretty and let it grow.  I still think it's pretty, but it's 
becoming pernicious.  Once it gets established, it starts creating runners. 
It's hard to get them all out, and even a piece starts new plants.  What a 
mistake!

I put down a no-mow grass seed last year in some parts of my yard.  I hope 
it survives the winter, and I get more grass and clover and less weeds. 
Right now, it's very muddy where the new grass is, which doesn't seem good.
