| I have a few spots approx 10feet by 4feet each of blue grass that have been filling in with poa grass that I plan on removing with a sod cutter and replacing with new blue grass sod.
My question is this. Should I spray first with roundup or just remove and replace the sod. thanks in advance rich |

| I'm no expert by any stretch of the imagination, but just off the top on my head I'd say if you spray first and give it time to work, you'll have a clearly defined area and know exactly where you need to remove the offending grass. On top of that, anything you miss with the sod cutter will hopefully remain dead. Of course, I guess you'd have to wait a couple of weeks before laying the sod to be sure the Roundup has dissipated and won't interfere with the new grass. |

| My understanding is that I can lay new sod 3 days after spraying the old stuff? |
|
| You can use tenacity to kill the poa and not harm the KBG or you can remove the sod and replace with new sod. |

| If I put the roundup down tonight (Wed), can I remove the poa with a sod cutter Friday afternoon and place the new sod down on Sat. |
