OT: Most hated plants/weeds

[unkle rico]

So I've had the misfortune of battling the demon spawn called "Nutsedge" in my yard after we had a tree planted and apparently this grass came along for the ride. It has spread like crazy in the wetter areas. That got me thinking - if you could wipe one plant out of existence, what would it be?

Nutsedge? Crabgrass? Sweetgum trees? Poison Ivy? Hydrilla?

And as an aside, Quinclorac seems to be helping to kill it.

 

[pawdiddly]

Man that's a tough choice, I have the Nutsedge issue and the Sweet Gum fruit from hell from my neighbors yard... I don't dislike the tree it's those damn prickly balls...

 

[gooddogjudge]

My entire front yard

 

[thethrillonthehill]

Racing Hearts Paranoia.............always messes with me...in the yard and in the house.

 

[CU1TruTiger4Life]

Sweet gum and wild violets. Kill one of either and two more come back in their place.

Quinclorac will not kill nutsedge. The active ingredient is mostly used for crabgrass control. If it is affecting the nutsedge then you need to call the manufacturer and tell them because I’m sure they are not aware of it. For sedge use Sedgehammer, Certainty, Dismiss, or Katana

 

[yeti24]

Definitely a tough ranker. I’d go with my current nemesis of massive/dense thickets of cedar trees and Christmas trees. My brush clearing slows to a crawl when I encounter one of those enemy strong points!

It has Quinclorac as one of the ingredients and it’s working. Maybe it’s the salfrazone stuff. I’m not a turfgrass guy so I don’t really know.

I have some nutsedge issues, but spurge weeds can rot in hell.

Image has been the solution for me. I have St Augustine grass and it works great with that type of grass but I understand it will kill other types of lawn grass so be sure to check on this before using it.

Nope.

And it blends in with St Aug at first because it has the same broad blades. Spreads like wildfire.

 

[Tiger Guru]

Kudzu.

I don't have a problem with it near my house but its good awful to look at some of the places where taken over.

 

[PawPride]

Coffee weed, once those seeds are in the soil it’s impossible to get rid of

 

[Every name taken]

Sesbania is the absolute worst ever. / thread

Dallisgrass

 

[ClemsonGentleman]

Sesbania is the genus of coffeeweed.

 

[ClemsonGentleman]

As an old county agent told me - the best control for Dallisgrass is Steel.

A SHOVEL OR HOE!

If it is straight Quinclorac, which I use on a daily basis, it has no effect on sedges. There is a product that has quinclorac and sulfenthazone both so it will work on it. Another product is Blindside which I use a lot

Sesbania is the genus of coffeeweed.

And the fact that two of us posted about coffee weed/ sesbania at the same time, means we are the ones that know it’s the worst. Nothing else comes close

 

[grazhoppa]

Bradford pear trees

 

[Every name taken]

Oh, and I didn’t call it by its full name, hemp sesbania. That might bring out the potheads in its defense, lol

 

[nashvegastiger]

Cannabis

Bradford pear trees

They are the gd worst

 

[Inspector Tiger]

Johnson Grass

 

[tgrjoe71]

Spurge is the most annoying of all weeds! It will show up anywhere and usually has gone to seed by the time you discover it. MSMA will kill it without damaging bermuda. It's a never ending battle for me.

 

[Chefkdh]

Tobacco

 

[Tigerbee59]

Obviously, you guys have never dealt with trying to control Wisteria frutescens. The absolute worst. Worse than kudzu. It has infested itself along the border hedge between me and the neighbor behind me. That stuff will wrap around a full grown tree and choke it to death. I have battled it for 22 years and I’m no closer to controlling than I was when I first began. Just when you think you found the mother root, surprise....you didn’t.

 

[SaltwaterTiger]

Pigweed
Yellow nutsedge
Johnson grass
Coffee beans/sicklepod

Marijuana is pretty hated amongst the religious right. It’s all good to rape minors and bang pornstars, but don’t touch that devils lettuce.

Sedgehammer works great on nut grass.

 

[cu82fan]

Virginia buttonweed. I haven’t found anything that will totally kill this stuff.

 

[ClemsonGentleman]

Two aquatic/wetland weeds. Phragmites - it is growing through the asphalt on the side road between the two bridges going north out of Georgetown on 17. Giant Salvinia - a floating weed like duckweed - its scientific name gives you an idea of its iinvasiveness
Salvinia molesta - That's right - MOLESTA

 

[LaidbackCat]

Goosegrass in my Bermuda just bought some MSMA Target 6 plus I hope it works

 

[thebooyaa]

round up with little diesel will kill anything. Diesel gets thru the wax
Not sure it's totally legal
