[Gpdd] [GPDD] Misc: Grass equivalents

[Susi Eastin]

Recently we learned that Couch Grass (UK) has medicinal
  properties, but didn't know how to find it here in the US.
  Well, I just heard back from the man at our local state
  extension office:
   
  "Couchgrass is also known as Quackgrass (Agropyron 
  repens), which is common throughout the U.S. , but is 
  considered a noxious weed and I believe is controlled 
  by the (ODAFF).    Though this plant is known for its 
  wonderful herbal properties,  you should check with 
  ODAFF before you decide to plant any.Your neighbors
  may not be very happy either, if you are growing it and 
  it creeps into their landscapes."
   
  I wouldn't mind trying to get hold of some and putting
  in a planter.I've inquired as to where we might find it. 
  To me, the picture looked similar to crabgrass.
  Anyone out there know any more about this?

  hand it over!!)
