We have lots of quack grass in my area. Although it is considered a weed, I don"t mind it in the pastures, as animals eat it down to the ground and it is really hard to kill or completely get rid of. In fairly damp areas quack makes pretty decent heavy long term pasture and it can be made into fair hay.
Quack grass spreads both by seeds and also by many underground rhizomes. It will form heavy sod, which is fine in a pasture, but not good at all in a cultivated field or garden. I have had some luck killing it with Roundup, but you need to spray at just the right time to kill the extensive underground root and rhizome system.
One poster mentioned controlling Quack grass by organic techniques. I would like to know what he is doing, since I have tried to deal with Quack without chemicals unsuccessfully. Tillage doesn"t seem to do much either, but rather it spreads the rhizomes and you get more plants. Only chemicals have worked to kill Quack for me.
