It's orchardgrass. There's no selective herbicide that I know of for cool season grass, so you'll need to either target spray with non-selective herbicide or physical remove to include roots.

 

I am dealing with a large amount of it in my ditch, creeping into my backyard, I am planning to use glyphosate with a foaming tip so I have a good visual confirmation of which weeds have been dosed.

 

Yep, Orchard grass.

I used the two glove method last year on a patch. In spite of my efforts there was still a lot of collateral damage to the immediately adjacent lawn.

This year I'm going to try glyphosate with a foaming applicator.

Are you referring to a 'Weed Wand'/'Weed Wiper'/'Weed Wick'?

 

Nope, something that applies actual foam.

you can skip to around the 5 to 6 minute mark to see the actual application.

Can you define "foaming tip"? Learning about precise ways to apply glypho.

Oh that is cool, I have never see one of these. I had just ordered a 'weed wand magic', but if that doesn't work well I might have to give this a try.

It is the long one in this kit. It mixes air in with the product. You typically need a foaming agent, I am curious to see if any of my surfactants will be able to produce the foaming effect.

I cancelled my 'Weed Wand' order and decided to go with one of these instead! I think it will be way more accurate. Thanks again for sharing.
