Hmmm, I wonder if yours is tougher than mine.  I have a small patch in  
the lawn, and I don't actually pull out the grass or anything, but I  
feed it a bit and try to keep the mower higher than it is, and  
generally encourage it.  I wish it would spread more, as I like it.   
If you're trying to get rid of yours, feel free to ship it my way.  :-)

Now in contrast, I have to pull out lots of English ivy every spring  
and fall, and I'm not certain I can keep it under control.
