I have lots of nice, pretty Irish Moss (Sagina Subulata) growing
around my water garden but there is a bit of lawn grass sprouting in
the moss. There's too much grass to pull by hand. I'm looking for some
kind of effective process or chemical/grass killer that will kill the
grass without harming the moss.Greetings alias...
I finally got hold of the
very knowledgable staff at
the local Green Thumb store.
The gentleman I spoke with
suggested a chemical I had
found info on already. His
suggestion was a confirmation
of the herbicide:
Fluazifop-P-Butyl
[ http://tncweeds.ucdavis.edu/products/handbook/fluazif.pdf ]
He said browning may occur with use.
Test in a small inconspicuous area. It
will spring back very readily though.
It is best to spot apply to avoid any
problems. You can apply by dripping on
grassy outcroppings, spraying with
a low mist sprayer or painting on the
leaves with a brush. If you really
must broadcast the herbicide, it
might be prudent to dilute.
