Quack Grass and Bermuda

Question: Our Bermuda lawn is being taken by quack grass. Is there any way of getting rid of this weed without carefully removing every bit of it? Is it true that it grows only in acid soil? RH, Oklahoma

Answer: Quack grass is one of the worst pests in the lawn or garden. Only digging and removing every bit of the rootstocks will control its spread in your lawn. If one will take the trouble to remove every spear of quack grass for one entire growing season it will be eliminated from the lawn.
