Re: bermuda grass


Tricia is right but it takes a LONG time.  I dig the #@*&! stuff up and it
does grow deep.  Monstrous stuff.  That or a flamethrower, but that might be
overkill.   Texas Gardener magazine recommends pulling/digging it up,
pounding it w/ a hammer and leaving it on the sidewalk in 100 degree heat
for 3 or 4 days.  Might be overkill too, but it's funny.
