grass invading prickly pear cactus

Question

I have a patch of prickly pear cactus which I really like. The problem is the grass grows up with it and you can’t see thy cactus. Is there something that would kill the grass, but not harm the cactus or could I gently sprinkle rocks in until the rocks kill out the grass? Perhaps you know another solution.

Answer 1

The "best" way to get rid of your unwanted grass largely depends on what type of grass it is. If you're not sure, try vinegar. This article will explain how: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/weeds/how-to-kill-grass-naturally-kill-unwanted-grass-in-your-yard.htm
