Sperm Grass
Posted: Sat Oct 02, 2010 1:48 am
I have this crazy grass (weed) growing all over my lawn and gardens.
It looks just like grass, except:
1) Its not flat like blades of grass but round like those coffee stirrers.
2) It grows amazingly straight up.
3) When I dig it up, the root often goes down 4-5 inches in the ground.
4) At the bottom is a white ball, often looking like sperm (sorry) sometimes its as big as a marble. Below this ball is the root system on the larger ones.
5) I did'nt have any of this in my lawn & gardens a few years ago, now it is lodged everywhere.
What is this crazy grass ? & how is it replicating all over my yard.
Thanks for your help.
