anybody know how to get cat...err... (fox) tail weed out of my grass?

[ximmy]

this is the first year I've seen this weed in my grass.. and it is taking over...

anybody know what I can do to kill them without killing the grass??? ??? ???

You're not making sense. Cat tail grows in ponds, not grass. Big difference.

[ximmy]

not the first time I've made no sense.... I guess I don't know the name of the weeds... they look like this..

Damn, that almost looks like a type of wheat... I wonder if the seeds are edible... *burrrrp*

yeah
Fox tails are bad...Not good for pets..And they will spread fast....If you let them go to seed, Next year you will have lots more...get them out asap.

Thanks for the info & clarification... Yeesh... apparently I have to pull these things out one at a time... has anyone found or heard of a chemical neutralizer for these beasties?

If someone invented something to spray on to kill foxtails and not the grass, They would get rich.
