I am starting to dream about digging the stuff up now; spent so many hours doing so in the last 2 weeks.

The really weird thing is that every time I go there, I must be saying the same thing in my head as I end up singing the same song over and over...I have not heard it for ages - I don't own it - I don't particularly like it but over and over it goes. There must be a line in it that is triggered by my inane ramblings of what I think of flippin' couch grass.

Anyway...our neighbouring plot got theirs rotavated the same time as us [about 3 weeks ago]. They didn't do anything after that. Last wednesday, the hubbie brought a digger down and turned the lot over - the couch grass roots were amazing; in bundles. You could have gone over it and taken loads off if you wanted to. But - yesterday, they had a man with another rotavator on it who worked it down to a lovely fine tilth. I hear one of the old fellas from the end lottie telling them that the couch grass would just 'fall down' if they did this.

Now, is it just me; or is this madness. I can see a lovely field of CG coming along nicely, and not much else. I hope not, but I can't see all the CG just 'dropping down' now - more likely a CG uprising in the coming weeks???

It would be nice to think he is right but...

Until I came on here, I always knew it as "scutch" grass. But would be another of the "cowtch" mindset.....
