#Smother the quackgrass. Quackgrass can be nearly impossible to kill without affecting the neighboring plant life, but if you don’t mind small patches of grass being killed then this is a good method. Place dark plastic or tarp over the location of the quack grass patches (cut the plastic to fit) and use rocks to anchor the edges. This will block out the sunlight and rainwater, effectively killing off the quack grass over a 3-4 week period.
