 I'm trying to establish a new patch with a friend at his house-an old farm
 turned into a modern housing developement.The area is overrun with what has
 been identified by the local ag.supply store as "wild fescue".I'm told it has
 extensive root systems and is drought tolerant and difficult to get rid of.I
 have about 125 days to clear,till,amend,test and adjust this area
 ....................any suggestions as to how to kill this stuff?-Glenn >>


You could remove the sod and compost it to be used later.  Most new patches
I've put in this way.  As far as Round Up goes it is the safest choice for
that method.  The only thing is the grass has to be actively growing for it to
work.  It works best in early Fall when the plant is storing food in it's root
system.
