I've found that even a very sharp hoe doesn't deal with most grasses very well - they just regrow after their trim just like a lawn does (and in the 'right' conditions even the trimmings will root and make new plants!  :ohmy:)

It really needs to be pulled or dug out, especially if you've got couch grass in there as well.
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

I would try to hand weed it out, being careful of the shallow roots.
be persistant and mulch heavily. any thing coming through should be easier to get out
