torpedo grass

I’m in central Alabama.Several years ago I took a sample of the then mystery grass to a yard seminar hosted by Auburn University. I figured my little problem was nothing so I waited till the crowd was mostly gone before I approached with my sample. I pulled it out and a booming voice says “Good Lord! Torpedo grass! Where’d you get that!” I knew I was in for it at that point.Evidently some seed or grass was on a digger then left in our yard when the gas or sewage line was replaced years before we bought the house. The dirt is so packed in our yard the torpedo grass hadn’t moved much. Packed? To the extent I needed to tie a rope around me and the tiller to keep it from running away while starting a new shrubbery bed! Then I come along and start thinning out the monkey grass (which had created an impenetrable barrier), digging flower beds and planting shubbery.Now I have torpedo grass in the back yard (either seeds brought by the mower or the transplanted monkey grass), spread around my front yard, growing up through the shubbery once “protected” by the monkey grass and in the flower beds. I know the first option, I can’t afford to move though. I really want to try to win here. Please give me your thoughts and/or point me to other sites I may need.Much thanks,bama
