Herbicide that kills grass but not groundcover?

Sep 14, 2004 4 Replies

Hi,



I am trying to establish a larger area of groundcover (ajuga). It has been a losing battle to the grass even though I have weeded and mulched frequently. Obviously if I could get ahead of the grass for a season or two it would take care of itself. Does anyone know of an herbicide spray that will kill grass but not a broadleaf groundcover such as ajuga.



thank you.

I've had fairly good success using a wick applicator and round up around my perennials.

Here's what it looks like, sorta.

Bob, will ornamec 170 kill moss? I'd like to kill the grass in large areas where moss is also growing. I just bought some wettable sulphur which will lower the pH, hopefully killing the grass over time, and only making the moss happier.

I don't know, but if you find the manufacturers site, I'm sure they list plants it either does or does not kill.
