[QUOTE="hwillso, post: 1326340, member: 23970"] My neighbor and I have been fighting this battle for a few years now. We have our soil ph in a range of 6.7 to 7.2. The field with the 7.2 ph is a solid stand of broomsedge. In the fields where it was not fully established it appears we are gaining ground and the cows are surely eating the hay that we cut from them lot better even with the broomsedge in it. We are fertilizing in accordance with soil samples and cutting before the broomsedge blooms. I have been told that when broomsedge is fully established the only way to get rid of it is to plow it up, preferably for a couple of years and then replant hay field. I hope that isn't true. Another option is to use a wick applicator and roundup, but sounds like that may be difficult in your terrain. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
