[QUOTE="Banjo, post: 1293554, member: 17304"] The way to get rid of JG is to wear it out. That is why JG won't survive in a continuously grazed pasture. As it comes up the cattle graze it off very short, after they do this over and over again it just exhausts the root reserves and it dies out or at least just goes dormant for a long, long time....because it has a way of coming back when given a lengthy rest period. Since I have been doing rotational grazing with lengthy recovery times, I have JG that is flourishing again. If it ever gets to go to seed.....that just seems to re arm it again. In a hay field situation, probably cutting hay early then mowing it fairly short every two or three weeks....sort of like your yard. I never see JG growing in a yard that is mowed frequently. But then mowing it short frequently would hinder the haying process. [/QUOTE]
