Description

Japanese Stilt grass has killed many peoples lawns in this area. The weed grows rampant in the parks & the park svc refuses to do anything about or even clean up the weeds in their property. It is from these weeds that the seeds spread to homeowners lawns. The MD Agriculture dept tells us to use pre-emergent crab grass product in february to prevent the weeds from growing. You think the MNCPCC would use it to save THEIR property from being taken over by these weeds? NO, so the weeds on their property go to seed and infect MD homeowners' property.
I have lost almost 1/2 of my back (Zoysia grass) yard to the weeds.
The yard borders the (Wheaton), regional park which is all weeds.
The times when a couple park managers came over to look, the main guy said "how do we know that YOUR weeds in your lawn didn't infect the park"? To say the least I was ready to have hubby plant a size 12 shoe where the sun-don't-shine!! So they did NOTHING about the weeds in the park and my lawn has suffered every year since.
Help please!
