Question

Is there something to use that kills grass's and not the vegetables?

Answer 1

Traditionally it has been the Hoe.

I have heard Canadian geese do a good Job.

I don,t think anyone should use herbicides in a small garden.

Answer 2

Yes, your hands. Having a vegetable garden requires DAILY tending. That means weeding. Do you REALLY want to spray chemicals to kill weeds near your vegetables? Get a hoe and work the soil. That's what gardening is about.

Answer 3

yes we have selective herbicides to kill the unwanted plants here to say the grass.

Answer 4

There are herbicides specific to grasses, Poast is one that comes to mind.  However you really have to be careful with herbicides around vegetables- most are not labled for all vegetables and you definitely need to follow the lable directions closely.  Mechanical weed control ( the hoe, a rototiller) is usuall effective.  You can also try heavy layers of mulch such as straw or poly film muches.  I have used newspaper as a mulch successfully in the past, simply layer newspaper around the plants, wet it a little, and cover with a little compost.

Answer 5

Yes, there is a herbacide that is specific to grasses.  But I wouldn't use it near plants I was planning to eat.  

The HOE is a really good tool.  Get a good one that stays sharp.  Or just get down on your knees and use your fingers.  It really does feel good.  (Getting back up can be hard sometimes.)
