I looked up what this torpedo grass looks like. Honestly, I didn’t recognize any of the grasses in TV. When I walked through them to see the back of homes it really felt like I was walking on hay. The grass pricked me through my open sandals. It would seem like a weed grass would be easy to maintain. There must be a reason why people don’t like it.

So I do get that what's a weed to me, is viable ground cover to Floridians. I totally get that. But that is WHY I'm confused about their disdain for torpedo grass. |

Fertilize and mow it. it's green and easy to grow.

I too have had success with Quinkill, but as Dave mentioned you need to be diligent. Mine started from my neighbors lawn and it moved quickly. I now spray both mine and his to keep it in check.

Our neighbor has a ton of it.........it looks like a yard full of weeds. There are high spots and low spots. Not finding any other neighbors who are embracing the look. |

I had this torpedo grass. Also called rocket grass/nutsedge. I sprayed it every day for four days and it killed all the torpedo grass without killing mt zoysia grass grass.I didn't spray my entire lawn, just the torpedo grass. I bought it at Lowes and mixed up a small batch. It's a concentrate.
