Rick, In replaceing glyposphates, we use two layer of clear plastic to
solarize the quackgrass, which will come back through sheetmulch. We leave
it on for a month, and have had good results. I have wiped out much of the
quackgrass here and have only a few reserves ,that I manage as fodder for my
rabbits. It is 18% protien, and the only green in good supply at this time.
It also has many medicinal properties, helps with the prostate. So don't
nuke all those weeds. jerome
