The situation is pretty dire. No, those aren't native grasses. The garden is surrounded by aggressive, fast-growing, fast-spreading weeds. These suckers have taproots a foot in the ground. And they're everywhere. Can anyone out there suggest some plants/grasses that will hold their own in (and eventually overtake) this jungle?
I know some people use a long narrow tool with a snake-tongue at the end to take care of pesky plants. Watch the video to see how we do it here in the hood. I'm thinking this will have to be done on a weekly basis. At least.

I suggest dynamite.
These bad boys eat dynamite for breakfast! I'm thinking of planting clover (or another groundcover). It's supposed to choke out weeds.
Phhht to clover. Train Saro to attack and kill weeds on sight. Make him earn his keep.
If I could train him to pee on the weeds, that would do the job!
