It was a real mess. I ripped everything out. Turned the soil, and got out all the big roots. Then I planted and mulched. There are these weird things growing through the mulch & in the area that I need to plant grass seed. It's on the left side, the lighter green patchy stuff. It grows QUICK! 2 days after I mulched I started seeing this. It seems to be growing from small pieces of root. Does anyone know what it is? Attachments: Quote \| Reply \| Report

Think I should try to kill it, or just keep weeding it? "It is normally a biennial plant (meaning it completes its life cycle in two years). However, if the plant has been damaged and not destroyed, it may easily become a perennial and return year after year until it's able to produce it's seed. This is the reason that often when you cut or pull tansy, it comes up again in the same place. For the forementioned reasons, it is best to remove the plant instead of mowing it. If you live in an area with loose soil, pulling the plant can be very effective since the roots will come with the plant easily. However, digging or pulling in hard or rocky soils often leaves small root fragments that regenerate several plants where there used to be only one." http://piercecountyweedboard.wsu.edu/Tansy.html Quote \| Reply \| Report
