QUOTE(set @ Jan 29 2015, 03:44 PM) I have some weed problem with my grass, this type, which is very annoying, it is hard to pull them out with the roots because it really snap easily halfway if I pull it too hard, I tried loosen up the soil and pull it, but it is like hydra, I pull one out, it grow back in bigger numbers few days later, and it grow mighty fast and outgrown my grass overnight, help? [attachmentid=4322235] [attachmentid=4322237] Use a screw driver to dig around the weed to remove it. They usually spread through the roots and are interconnected. Dig and trace the roots to all surrounding weeds to remove all.

There is a tool to remove weeds. I think some one post here before in the earlier pages. How i treat them is, i pull them out by reaching my hand all the way down inside my carpet grass, pull from the hard part of it. And the only solution to get reed of all these weeds, is do regular pulling until your carpet grass is strong and hard to invade by weeds. And this take time.

Hi, Anyone knows where to get the Japanese grass cheaper than RM4 per-slab? In Klang Valley area (SJ/PJ/Puchong/SA/Klang)? Was quoted the above price from: http://www.fourseasonsturf.com.my/index.php?show=productsAlso, if it's slow growing? Thanks!

Yup, Japanese is among the slowest growing.

The issue is that the black seed is almost not exactly below the weed. The weed sprout out after the roots move horizontaly until it finds a gap in the carpet grass layer. Agree on the continous pulling until the grass is tight and crowd out the weeds.

QUOTE(set @ Jan 30 2015, 08:01 AM) ah thank you, please post back if you get any result with the herbicide, am I watering too much? Fertilization I've only done that twice in 2 weeks, watering however I do it every evening. Twice in 2 weeks is a lot. Should be every 35 days. Putting too much fertlizer will speed the growth and the old/dead leaves/rhizomes, roots no time to melt in the soil. Watering should be done infrequent but deep. Daily watering is only for newly laid grass. Watering everyday will make the roots shallow because they can find water easily. You need a deep root system for the grass to be strong. Water only in early morning, watering in the evening will lead to disease especially fungus problems cos the grass is kept moist too long. I talked to a pro landscaper which maintains the turf grass at Saujana Golf and Country Club. He said that a good carpet grass is one that is slightly dry. Not moist and certainly not water logged.

I don't water my grass everyday. Only give water to plants and flower everyday.

No noticeable damage and there's already a network of roots down there. I have been doing that for more than 30 years.. and i find it's one of the most effective way to remove weeds from my lawn.

Price is about right. Don't buy anything which has less than 3 levels since 1 or 2 level plant has the possibility of not increasing its level. Some just stuck at 1st level.
