What is the quickest way to remove the tall " Hay-like " grass that grows in between popular garden shrubs?

Question

I am having a hard time trying to pull out this grass that looks similar to " hay " which is growing around the roots of my shrubs. Does anyone have any gardening or weeding tips or tricks that they could share with me.

Answer 1

If you can't pull  it out, you'll have to use a shovel to dig it out. Once you've got it out, I would recommend you put landscape fabric down and cover it with wood chips/mulch to prevent the grass from growing back.

Answer 2

wet the ground.... wear gloves and pull hard!....
