User's notes

Several tussocks that are quite big. Came likely in via horse fodder. In a rather swampy spot. I am not sure it is capillary - or something else that needs controlling.

I don't think this is a panicum species the seeds seem to packed tight together but not sure

I think the third photo is something different. But the other three are all Lachnagrostis.
