How do I get rid of weeds that grow in my monkey grass?

Certified ExpertA.Your best bet would be to hand pull as much as you can and then add mulch to keep weed growth to a minimum. However, you could also try sprinkling corn meal in the area, which has a chemical in it that acts as a pre-emergent on plant seeds preventing them from germinating. Sprinkling corn meal will not harm plants but will keep weeds from growing.

April 17, 2011Q.Transplanting & Cutting Back Monkey Grass
A friend gave me some Monkey grass this week. I have already planted it around my trees. I am wondering if I can cut it back to come out new this year since she gave me untrimmed plants. I don't want to kill them.
