The Back Lawn

[mickstv]

Hi all, just wondering if anyone knows what this is and how best to deal with it and the seeds it drops. The lawn is a mess......

[fandtm666]

looks like paspalum ,bunnings has a weed control specially for it

[hinekadon]

more like rye grass 2 me horses love it ?put a horse in your back yard lol

[mickstv]

Thanks for the reply fandtm666, I looked up some pic's of paspalam, but the seeds look different.

Here's a closer pic of the seed....

[hinekadon]

Lolium multiflorum or italian ryegrass ....got a horse yet? lol don

[mickstv]

Na, the neighbours will complain lol....


The st!ts not good for the dogs though....

[hinekadon]

no dont get it in their ears dangerous then don
cut it before it dries then its ok green seeds ?

[lsemmens]

Yeah, mow your lawn, Paspalum Notatum is used as a lawn in some areas, and that does NOT look like any Paspalum that I know. As Hinekadon has suggested, probably Rye grass.

Looks like Rye Grass to me
I get it also, i just pull it out before the seeds drop.

Generally is a sign a lawn is not fertilised correctly, hence the weeds or hardy species out grow the grass.

You could spot spray it while actively growing (very important point) or remove it by hand.
Then build your soil up so the lawn can flourish

Use weed and feed.
Don't spot spay but brush the offenders with glyphosate(Roundup) on a dry day.
