It\u2019s growing in the fields, the paths, and even tangling in the grapevines. It feels like everywhere I look I see the infestation. Next to poison ivy, it\u2019s probably the single most insidious weed here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometime ago, I briefly mentioned wire grass in my article on How to Control Bermuda Grass. Wire grass is an uncultivated type of Bermuda grass. But as someone who\u2019s dealt with it many times in my life, I\u2019m here to tell you that it can be hard to get rid of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It grows under garden edging, and over landscape paper, mulch, gravel, sidewalks, and forgotten rakes. It even twines up into shrubs, where it reaches out to wave and laugh at you as you walk by. The roots are so deep that when you try to pull it out, they break. And just when you think you\u2019ve got common Bermuda under control, it releases seeds that fly into all the areas you just weeded. Remember my <a href=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/lawn-garden\/guides\/how-to-weed-proof-a-vegetable-garden\/\">Weed-Proof Vegetable Garden<\/a>? Well, it was \u2014 except for the wire grass.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Mowed wire grass lawn\" title=\"When mowed, wire grass isn\u2019t a bad looking lawn grass.\" class=\"lazyload\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/battles-with-wire-grass-2.jpg\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/battles-with-wire-grass-2.jpg\" alt=\"Mowed wire grass lawn\" class=\"lazyload\" title=\"When mowed, wire grass isn\u2019t a bad looking lawn grass.\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Deal With Wire Grass<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Historically, tobacco farmers patrolled their hundred-acre fields and hand-dig every tiny sprout of wire grass. They wouldn\u2019t dare allow even one patch to take hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wire grass is one of those plants that doesn\u2019t like gentle methods. If you want to get rid of it, you\u2019ll need to use aggressive methods. You\u2019ll need to use grass killer or completely remove the infestation, and that\u2019s likely to need doing more than once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like other forms of Bermuda grass, wire grass turns brown during the winter, so you can easily spot the telltale patches in a fescue or bluegrass lawn. If you\u2019re planning to dig wire grass up, it\u2019s best to do it while it\u2019s brown and dormant. If you\u2019re going to spray wire grass, take note of the patches in your lawn, then spray the regrowth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To control wire grass in your yard, you can use weed killers, dig the plants up, use solarization, raised beds, or lawn edging, and prevent the spread of seeds by not mulching your lawn clippings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Weed Killers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Routine weed killers are no match for wire grass. If you\u2019re going to use a sprayer, I suggest mixing it double-strength and planning on 2\u20133 sprayings about 10 days apart. It will also need to be resprayed any time it comes back. If you\u2019re planning to overseed with a cool-season grass seed spray in midsummer so you can plant by fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Glyphosate (Roundup) is effective, but non-selective. You\u2019ll likely need to apply the Roundup multiple times. Another option is Fluazifop, which is a selective grass killer. It will selectively kill grasses but leave ornamentals alone. Read the label to be sure of what plants it will kill and those it will leave alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Digging<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To pull or dig wire grass, you\u2019ll need to go several inches deep, to make sure you get all of the rhizomes. I\u2019ve even heard of wire grass growing up to a foot deep, so be sure you get it all, especially if you\u2019re coming back with expensive sod on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Solarization<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For new gardens and flower beds, solarization can help give you a blank slate. Solarization is when you cover the bed with clear plastic during the summer heat. You leave it covered for about six weeks to let the sun burn everything that\u2019s growing under the bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Raised Beds<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If wire grass is a big problem where you live, I\u2019d recommend not messing around. Plant in raised beds with edges at least 6\u2033 to 8\u2033 above ground level, and line the bed with two crisscrossed layers of landscape fabric before adding dirt. Dig up every blade of wire grass that sprouts inside the bed, as soon as you spot it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lawn Edging<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To keep wire grass out of flower beds, edging should be several inches above ground and buried several inches deep to help stop underground roots. Even with edging, you\u2019ll need to keep an eye out for stray sprouts growing over or under the edging, as well as seedlings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Grass Clippings<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t mulch wire grass clippings \u2014 you don\u2019t want to spread the seeds around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-dbdc8d70\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-dbdc8d70 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/battles-with-wire-grass-4.jpg\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-dbdc8d70 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/battles-with-wire-grass-4.jpg\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Good Luck!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once upon a time, I made peace with wire grass. At that time, I had a large fenced-in backyard with four dogs running around in it, and the wire grass was the only thing that stood up to their energetic paws. As they trampled the regular lawn grass, the wire grass crept out into its place, so I fed it, watered it, mowed it, and everybody was happy. It\u2019s not a bad-looking grass if you can keep it out of your flower beds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And I must admit that I didn\u2019t pull it out of my vegetable garden this year. With the garden surrounded by wire grass, it seemed like a losing battle. And for all my preaching, I\u2019m really not much of a weeder either. The veggie plants did just fine, though by summer\u2019s end the garden was a bit of a tangle!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wire grass is one of those plants that you can either live with or fight with. But if you\u2019re willing to take an aggressive approach and stick with it, it\u2019s possible to keep wire grass at bay. <\/p>\n\n\n    \n    \n    <div id=\"hm-faq-block_c72a786ad0d19f8c127b04aa5ce6b953 1\" class=\"hm-faq hm-faq--two-column\">\n        <h2 class=\"hm-faq__title \" data-toc-text=\"FAQs About Controlling Wiregrass in Your Lawn\">FAQs About Controlling Wiregrass in Your Lawn<\/h2>                            <div class=\"hm-faq__item\">\n                    <h3 class=\"faqQuestion accordion mb-0\">\n                        Does vinegar kill wire grass?                    <\/h3>\n                    <div class=\"faqAnswer panel\">\n                        \n<p>Vinegar can be used as a natural herbicide to kill wire grass (also known as Bermuda grass), but it\u2019s not as good as other methods.<\/p>\n\n<p>Vinegar can damage or kill the above-ground parts of wire grass and is most effective on young, tender growth. Spray the vinegar on the wire grass on a dry, sunny day to make it work best. You may need to do this more than once.<\/p>\n\n<p>A downside to using vinegar is that it\u2019s a non-selective herbicide, meaning it can harm or kill any plant it contacts. It also doesn\u2019t penetrate to the roots, so wire grass often regrows.<\/p>\n\n<p>For persistent wire grass problems, a combination of methods or professional herbicides may be more effective.<\/p>\n\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <hr class=\"my-2\"\/>\n                                <div class=\"hm-faq__item\">\n                    <h3 class=\"faqQuestion accordion mb-0\">\n                        Is wire Grass a form of Bermuda grass?                    <\/h3>\n                    <div class=\"faqAnswer panel\">\n                        \n<p>Wire grass is a common name for bermuda grass, but wire grass is also a term used for other species of grass. These grasses are low-growing perennials, and spread via stolons (above-ground runners) and rhizomes (underground stems). They are drought-tolerant and heat-resistant, and can be invasive in some areas<\/p>\n\n<p>In most contexts, however, especially when discussing lawn care or weed control, \u201cwire grass\u201d is referring to Bermuda grass. However, it\u2019s always good to confirm the specific species if precision is needed, as the term can vary regionally.<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <hr class=\"my-2\"\/>\n                                <div class=\"hm-faq__item\">\n                    <h3 class=\"faqQuestion accordion mb-0\">\n                        Will dish soap kill Bermuda grass?                    <\/h3>\n                    <div class=\"faqAnswer panel\">\n                        \n<p>Dish soap alone is not an effective method for killing Bermuda grass. However, it is sometimes used as part of homemade herbicide mixtures as a surfactant (wetting agent). Dish soap is usually combined with vinegar and salt, and this mixture can damage the grass, but it rarely will kill the grass completely.<\/p>\n\n<p>Rather than serving as the active ingredient, dish soap (when used in a herbicide mixture) helps the mixture stick to the grass blades. It can break down the waxy coating on leaves, allowing other ingredients to penetrate.<\/p>\n\n<p>Downsides to this method are that the mixture can temporarily burn the surrounding grass, and the wiregrass typically regrows. For effective Bermuda grass control, especially for established patches, professional herbicides or mechanical removal methods are generally more reliable.<\/p>\n\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <hr class=\"my-2\"\/>\n                    <\/div>\n\n    \t\t<\/div>\r\n<br>\r\n<!-- \/wp:post-content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My farm in North Carolina is infested with wire grass.
