| I have an area that is a retention pond run-off, that turns into a natural stream, in the middle of the back of my back yard. The natural area has a wide clear, flat area that is completely covered with a grass that looks great, but make the area impossible to visit because of this mean grass. The only other plants that are there are skunk cabbage, I like those, and some ostrich, and cinnamon fern. I would like to plant other plants, is there a way I could suppress the grass in areas? Would it be futile to try? |

| Might be rice cut grass. Good for erosion control in wet areas. My experience is that if you get other plants growing they will compete with it pretty well. A weed trimmer might help getting the project started. I put a list of plants that commonly associate with this plant on my website, latin names only though. |
