Cane grass scourge

[Hotzcatz]

Guinea grass can grow about six inches a day it seems. Perhaps more. It is a great pasture grass since it grows fast and is nutritious, I feed a lot of it to the rabbits. However, it seeds plentifully and once established is really hard to get rid of. Once the roots are established, frequent cutting won't kill it. Drought slows it down, but doesn't completely stop it since it is deep rooted. Keeping it from seeding would keep it from spreading as fast, but wouldn't get rid of the existing plants. Usually, if folks really want to get rid of it, they whack it down and let it resprout to about ten inches tall then spray those leaves with RoundUp. That will usually kill off most of the root system. Then they will usually go back and spray it again if the first round didn't do it in.
