Question:"I am constructing a new lawn and enclose a piece of root of which a considerable amount is present in the soil which was delivered. I intend to pick it out as I see it but some is bound to be missed and I assume it will grow again. Will it be possible to deal with it if it grows through the new lawn? Would it be wiser to leave the lawn for another year so that this plant can grow and be forked out by the roots?"
Answer/Response:"The piece of root is from couch grass and you should continue to remove as much of this as possible. Any which you miss is likely to grow again as you assume but fortunately it usually dies out under fairly close mowing. As regards leaving the lawn for another year, if the time factor is no worry it would certainly provide a full season's fallowing, giving you a cleaner seed bed and permitting the soil to settle where necessary."
