I have a huge area of monkey grass I want to get rid of. What is the best way to kill it or remove it. Last year I dug up a sizeable area as this was the only way to really get rid of it I was told. Guess what. It's back. I need to remove it to re landscape and sod the back yard and make it into a play area for my children with swingsets and grass etc. but this stuff is tough. I have a huge monkey grass farm right now and it's driving me nuts.
Please help,
Notal
Dig it up and sell it on Ebay. Or offer it on GardenWeb for trades of plants you might want. Put an ad in the paper for Free Monkey Grass, You Dig. There's lots of ways to get rid of it, but the smart way is the Tom Sawyer painting a fence way.
I've never heard of monkey grass, but what's wrong with glyphosate (Round-up)? It kills most plants and is very short lasting.
