I am curious about the method Tom B. discusses in controlling Glosso.  I have tried the trimming technique a few times and was unhappy with the results; it always resulted in short leafless stems that didn't really regrow well.  The method that worked for me was to pull up the whole thing and tease out runners to re-populate the tank; this is basically starting over.  Under good conditions (like you said, this is a heavy feeder), Glosso would be thick again in no time.  

What is the cut 2-3 inches of sod technique you mention?  Do you mean, pull out most but not all and let the remaining re-invade the open space?
