To kill or not to kill? My yard gets COVERED in the stuff year after year, but it eventually goes away as it heats up. Should I just let it do its thing? Any harm in that? Yeah, I know it's a non-native...but I'd have to sift through quite a lot of yard to get rid of it. What do YOU do?

    I never bother getting rid of it. It doesn't seem to bother anything, and I figure if I just turn it in with everything else, then it's all going back into the dirt anyways and it can't be doing much harm. I could be horribly, horribly wrong though.

      I've tried to get rid of it at a home I used to live in. It was all over the lawn, and crowding out the grass, killing it. I hand pulled. If I kept at it the lawn improved, but I never got rid of it completely. It kept growing back and I eventually gave up. I say just leave it. If there are only small amounts, then sure, pull it before it becomes a problem. Otherwise, try and embrace it. It's not so bad looking.
