Is there anything I can spray on my "monkey grass" (I know thats not the correct term) that will kill the bermuda that has overtaken it but not kill the monkey grass? Or am I just gonna have to pull it? Im skeerd of spiders though that is why I hav not pulled it yet. Yes im a wimp.

Ive yet to find something that WILL kill monkey grass. i would spray grass and weed killer in a hidden spot to see what it does.
i cut the monkey grass here down with the mower every year and it comes back fuller each time

PS. i hate spiders too LOL

Ok. thanks. I will try that. I just "heard" it will kill it but maybe not. I love plants but suck at taking care of them.

The only way we have gotten the grass and weeds out of monkey grass was to weed by hand.

The last time I had monkey grass it had become very thick and had to be thinned. We dug it up in sections and removed the grass from one foot on each side of where we would replant. This allowed us to weed the clumps, to share and to cover the bare area with mulch. It was easier to keep the weeds out that way also.

Have fun and God bless,

I have poison ivy in mine if any of you have suggestions for that also. Thanks

for some strange reason mowing it makes it grow thicker...
when I seperate mine I use a serated steak knife to SAWit into strips to be replanted, none of that tugging and ripping it apart, just slice and dice. I cut it front to back and then rotate it into rows.
I love my liriope..

Mow the foliage with the lawnmower set at the greatest height, being careful not to injure the crown. This should be done in late winter before the plants start growing, usually late January to mid-February. This is important for continued growth and to prevent anthracnose, a fungal disease.

We can NOT keep monkey alive. I swear we must be the only people on the planet that can't get it to grow. No, I am not kidding about that either.
