This stuff is evil. We have our own evil rhizome grass called bermuda grass. It doesn't cause nearly as many problems as quack grass but it does create networks of roots that make it hard to dig and plant in unless you remove it all and it regenerates from very small pieces. We also have a pretty weed that we call onion grass. It spreads when you dig it up because it grows tiny bulbs off the mother bulb and when you dig or pull it it spreads the tiny bulbs. We sift our soil to get the majority out and I just cut them under the surface and kill them with tarps and plastic sheets. Impossible to eradicate but possible to live with and try to keep up with.

I love hanging laundry outside and am The only person in my neighborhood that does. Bc of my allergies though I have to wait until pollen season is over. I live close to Lancaster county though and when I go there I love seeing everyone’s clothes hanging.

Really look up to u guys for ur work ethic. I’m exhausted watching the video!

I wonder if there are any live stock animals that would eat it...I do remember the endless fight with goat heads in central wyoming.

That was very informative. Not sure if it would be feasible, but wouldn't it be nice to get completely rid of the Quack Grass and re-establish native grasses?

Thats really pure madness! I am so sorry for you! So do you leave that plastic now until it decays? Will you try to kill the quack grass in between the plastic squares or is that just not possible? I must say, the name quack grass sounds very nice, you know, like the noise, that ducks make. I don´t know who came up with that name, but that person is a bit of a joker!

we have Johnson grass here it grows the same way:(

Wow so much work. I have had experience with needing to weed that deep. Sometimes you feel like the battle is lost, but a day will come when you realize you are getting a great handle on it.

Thanks for showing us this whole process and how you've been thinking through this problem. Such a great teacher!

I think you have been hard on the Quack Grass. Hopefully, this helps. So sorry for the loss of top soil and the hard work you’ve had to do. SMH, this hurts my heart for you and the work you’ve done. So thankful that you and Clay are able to be such fine helpmates.

yrs ago i jus cut down eating alot because of workiin 2 jobs n the one job was real physical. lost alot of weight

luv your skirt!

nice dress!

Could you find a tree or landscaping company, or many companies to drop their chipped wood and leaves to your homestead. Then you could pile a foot of wood or leaves over the whole fruit forests. Essential cutting off all light and creating a deep wood effect that it could not live in. Many companies want to get rid of it for free. Ask you Could buy a chopper and chip a bunch of that free wood you guys get. Just an idea. Sorry you’re dealing with this nightmare.

Hi guys. Fully understand your frustration with Quack grass, also known as "Couch Grass" here in the UK. We took over a large plot of land (nowhere near the size of yours😂) and recall the problems clearing the ground of thistles, couch grass etc. We couldn't use a rotorvator since this would simply chop up the roots so it had to be dug and forked by hand. It was a long job but we cleared it. The grass is the stuff of nightmares for gardening. Really enjoy your vlogs and have been watching them for a long time. Stay safe guys. Sid and Nicola, Rugby UK.

I have heard that French marigolds help control the cooch grass. Haven’t tried them myself but have pulled, dug, and poisoned and mulched them in the past. Along with many swear words. Good luck 🇦🇺🎸⚡️🤘🏾🤘🏼💋💜

wow what a coulorful rooster

wow you sure did get a downpour.

windy weather eh Ariel?

it was the bugs definately

can't tell if it's sunrise or sunset the beautiful orange sky

what are those fine little purple flowers called

Beautiful. sky

Do your ducks ever fly?

Good work girl 😁

Per the usual your hard work is awe inspiring. I'm wondering however is the plan to replace the plastic every few years? Because with this grass being this invasive wouldn't you essentially have to keep them protected forever?

Wonder if goats would rid the land of if ?

We have crabgrass here in Missouri don’t know if it’s the same but I’ve lived on my property 35 yrs and still fighting it very invasive but hasn’t killed my trees so Must not be the same wow that’s unreal maybe is man made lol

Nicely done video Ariel

It sounds awfully like what we call nutgrass here in S.E. Queensland Australia !!! Is sooooo pervasive and time consuming to try and eradicate. I can certainly feel your pain. Do hope n pray you're successful in removing this devil grass !!!!

An hour for 3 loads of laundry. 😳👍

yup a nice cart. what's it called ?

i'm watching on you tube with my cell phone

and say Thank you "

Cook him a good supper girl 😀

Clay sure is a good thorough worker a perfectionist 🤗🤗

Perfect idea to kill your quack grass …..lots of work ….your a great team ♥️🇨🇦

Congrats

In our family, we call it devil weed.

would you mind letting me know what sort of electric four wheeler you guys got? been trying to find one for our homestead. thanks upfront!

I hope you reach a steady state with this soon so that it doesn't take up so much of your time.

What a terrible plant. Let’s hope you are able to beat it.

Y’all work well together. Sorry about the terrible quack grass in your area!

And here I was thinking our Crabgrass was something nasty 😆… thanks for sharing! This was very interesting. Also, the mountains behind you are so beautiful!!

I wonder if burning the grass with a propane torch would work.

I hope the fruit from your orchard is extra sweet considering all the trouble you've had to go through!

California has Bermuda grass, I feel your pain. I am on year one of 3 acres.

Just wow, Clay is right, that grass is positively evil. Worse than Bamboo. What an incredible amount of work you’ve done, I’m in awe over your tenacious efforts. Thanks so much for sharing, I think you’re going to help a lot of people.

Wow....sure hope those trees and bushes win! 😳👍😎🇨🇦🌱

We call that plastic panda film or panda plastic here in Northern California, people use it on greenhouses for light dep crops.
