The rhizomacity (to coin a word) of the grass is key to the ID. Not saying you're wrong but trying to prove you're right so that we can increase the knowledge base on the site. | |

If whoever laid the lawn tried to get rid of it by shredding the roots and burying them, each bit of root will be a separate plant! The old generation gardeners in the UK used to say that if you pulled up a piece of twitch, hung it the wall in your garden shed for seven years, and replanted it, it would grow again. | |
