RE: bermuda grass

Or wait until fall and dig up the entire bed and an area next to the bed. 
Save the asparagus; locate all the bermuda and get it out; then, replant
the asparagus.  We have that wild bermuda grass and I have often had to do
that when I didn't notice that the bermuda got into to one of my beds.  So
far, I have been able to keep my beds clean.
