    Hi!
    Can anyone be so kind as to let me know what this grass is, its pretty thick, including the thick round stems.

    Cant say im a fan.. is it "normal"?

    It looks like one of the coarse meadow grasses, a real pain for the look of a lawn. It's slash and dash time!
    A sharp knife slashed across the clump in a criss cross fashion will chop it up and stop it becoming tufty. It always seems to grow twice as fast as the rest as well!

      Thanks, i thought it may be a "meadow" grass. Im pretty new to this, but lock-down got me interested in the lawn :)

      I have chunks of it here and there, and because its so thick, looks completely different to the rest and well, its just kinda horrible?..
