Meadow Grass In Lawn

[Doug Tait]

I suspect my mate is developing psychological issues and wonder if anyone can help.

 

His trouble seems to be with the wrong type of grass in his lawn. It's got under his skin now and he's becoming desperate. Apparently it's annual Meadow Grass and he's tried cutting it out with little success.

 

I have suggested he drink another glass of gin and find something that actually matters to keep him awake at night but to no avail, so I promised I'd ask here if anyone knows the secret to instant Meadow Grass eradication.

[AHPP]

Yeah. The gin. Apply nightly.

I'd suggest not looking too closely. Grass is grass in my book. Even moss passes for grass sometimes, at least it's green and not muddy.

 

Is your friend a lawn bowler or croqueter or something?

Not in the least, just a "must be new, laser straight and perfection in every way" type of guy. The only time he doesn't notice the insurgence of his lawn is on a Sunday morning when he jet washes a fleet of already spotlessly clean vehicles.

 

It's genetic, his dad is the same, at war with spider mites in his lawn, Greenthumb always there applying some treatment or other.

Ah, fair enough. He sounds like our neighbour; perfect lawn, (with perfectly parallel lawn mower tracks), spotless cars, windows, block paved drive etc etc. Its what his weekends are made for.

 

A couple of years ago he relocated the shed at the end of the garden. By a couple of feet. It's a large shed too, must be 15x15' at least. He said that previously it wasn't quite central and not quite aligned when looking out from the house. I kid you not!

What, he's not got a robotic one!

[Doug Tait]

A robot would cut far too randomly for him, and It's little house would clutter up the perfect rectangle of grass.
