My main gripe with our bermuda back yard is its tendency to run into our beds.

this. Bermuda grass is badass. It can't be killed easily, it grows low to the ground so mowing can be done much less often, and it is so thick, it chokes out weeds. Cut it up and bring it to my house. I'll take it.

Is this the casual sex thread?

Is quackgrass the same thing as bermudagrass? Some of the "alternate" names are the same (couch, quitch, devils, wheat, scutch, twitch, witch, dog or durfa grass) but the descriptions sound different.

I have the same problem.

Did the same thing...sprayed roundup on it last fall and it is coming back. Not as thick...but it isn't gone that's for sure. I am spraying it again. It is frustrating as I have some nice turf around it that is getting killed from the roundup as well.

And no...don't let bermuda take over your lawn. It will create an issue for not only you, but your neighbors. Don't be that guy. And you might as well not have any planting beds as the bermuda will take over that.

Bermuda is not badass.

Is it maybe nutsedge grass?

Dayze 06-24-2013 12:30 PM

field turf.

if I can ever afford it, I'm doing that shit in the front yard.

Mr_Tomahawk 06-24-2013 12:31 PM

NutSedge is distincly different than Berumda.

Looks like I'll give Ornamec a shot. I just find it hard to believe that a "selective kill" chemical is going to do better than glyphosate, but I'm willing to give it a shot.

Mr_Tomahawk 06-24-2013 12:33 PM

You have to keep spraying with roundup. It will take a few seasons.

Dont use Orthos bermuda killer...it's a waste. Don't till...you will just spread it.

I'm painfully aware of what nutsedge is. But after a bad couple of years, I think I finally have that particular devil under control.

That would own.

No mowing. Just vacuum.

The good thing is that since it's a relatively small area, it's not an enormous hassle to kill and reseed every year until I figure it out.

Mr_Tomahawk 06-24-2013 12:34 PM

I wish nutsedge was the issue and not Bermuda.

Rageemur is trying to figure out how to terminate his relationship with his Bermuda grass

Yeah, I reseeded the area I killed off last year. And since Bermuda is a warm season grass, I had false hope this spring when all my seed started to come through without the Bermuda.

I knew better...this past month the Bermuda has slowly been coming back in those areas. ****er.
