The grass in my orchard is starting to worry me; I
just
read that some grasses are alleopathic, particularly
the nasty creeping ones. How worried should I really
be? How much space around each tree do I need to
keep clear? Any good suggestions, other than roundup,

to control? I've been starting with cardboard but
it's about 1/4 acre - that's a lot of cardboard...
