How do I get rid of kikuyu grass in my lawn? It grows long tendrils which are invading my garden beds.

• Kikuyu is very hard to control once it gets away, especially if you don’t want to kill your lawn and only want to control the kikuyu. 
• You can either hand weed by pulling the rhizomes out of your garden, but because there is a lot of root under the ground it is hard to get the whole rhizome and they are likely to reshoot.
• Spot spraying with a glyphosate based or systemic weedkiller is the most effective way to eradicate kikuyu. 
• Spring and autumn are the best times to spray when the grass is actively growing to get maximum absorption of the active ingredient.
• Cut an edge around your garden beds so that the kikuyu can't grow directly into the garden and is easier to remove and control.
