This grass started showing up in our gardens and in our lawn about two years ago, I suspected it was a ride along in a bag of mulch we got bc it started in the flower garden, but it's now trying to take hold in our lawn also. The grass is a much lighter green than our sod so it's easy to pick out, and the stalks, if you will, are thicker than the lawn, shallow roots, easy to pull out, but it's maddening. It grows faster than the lawn also so a day after cutting these pale green grasses are taller than the actual lawn. Can you please identify this grass and if possible tell me how to get rid of it once and for all? Thank you.
