Scary couch-grass
Just back from the allotment where I have been digging over a bed that has been used for squash and courgettes this summer.
As usual, I pulled out plenty of long wiry couch roots and remembered these pictures taken a few years back – pretty impressive performance by the innocent-looking grass


Using it as compost for certain areas in your house or farm can lead to a tragedy of being overrun by this persistent pest. This grass simply doesn’t die once pulled out of the ground.
