Hi All,

I live in Northern Nevada and have been battling noxious weeds like spotted nap and bur buttercup. Someone told me to plant grass to choke out the weeds.

I don't want to waste water on a lawn.

Is there a native ground cover/grass that I can plant that need no or very little water that will choke out the weeds.

Thanks for any help

Chris Porter

Always a good place to start is you local Extension office or Master Gardener program.

Actually...after a search for the device...it's really marketed for metal detecting. Don't think the other post was really advertising..just formatted incorrectly...though I don't really remember it well.

Benefit of the doubt?
