Speaking of Bermuda Grass...................

gldno1
16 years ago

Where does this darn stuff come from? I now have a patch about 6 feet square in the path leading into the vegetable garden. It seems the more I spray it, the better it gets.

I tried the Over the Top stuff and trust me it will also harm the other plants somewhat. They survived but looked pretty sorry for a while. I do think it may have killed the strands of Bermuda though.

If I spray the patch with Roundup, it is going to look really bad for a while but I see no way around it. I hate that grass!!!!
