It's driving me insane because it roots at every nub and naturally it lays across the ground as it grows so it eludes the mower - Grrrrrrrrrrr! It's rooting everywhere and spreading like mad. (Hey at least it's not bermuda grass ) I'm working on smothering a good portion of it with raised beds - but it's a fairly big piece of land (to me, anyway) so it'll take me a bit to divide and conquer!
