This is very simple.
1. Ask yourself why you want to have so much grass to mow?
2. Admit that it is worthless.
3. Mow an area which is a normal size for a home and forget about the rest. Let it become part of nature again.

I think you had your chemicals mixed up, 2-4D is the growth enhancer not Glyphosphate. One interesting experiment is to dilute, and I mean dilute the HELL out of some 2-4D, and spray a bit of your garden. It will grow like it has never grown before.
We usually notice this when someone sprays a cotton crop, but did not clean their tank well, much of the cotton will die, but some will turn into super-cotton, and some weeds will be super-weeds.
Edit to add: I see you were correct, I misread your post. I find it interesting how roundup basically kills plants, where 2-4D makes them grow to death.edit on 2-6-2013 by jssaylor2007 because: (no reason given)

No pix actually stops vegetative growth so the cotton puts more growing energy into the fruiting cycle. Paraquat is the same chemical as agent orange, and is actually used for basically the same process. When cotton is ready to be harvested physiologically, they spray Prep (paraquat) on it, which is a defoliant, and also a dessicant. Basically it just makes all of the leaves fall of so that harvest can be conducted cleanly.edit on 2-6-2013 by jssaylor2007 because: (no reason given)

Burning is sort of...illegal. In some places. And discouraged where it isn't.
