Actually it was fairly easy to get the kikuyu out of the yard. All i
did was cut it up into brick sized chunks, stabbed it with a pitchfork
and out it came. Seems it packs just the top foot of soil with its
stolons. The sand underneath was dry and very loose sand (it was like
it had never been touched). There are a few errant stolons left but
they come out easy and haven't even gotten very far. I didnt do the
sideyard but it seems the constant shade has killed off most of the
kikuyu. All thats left is bermuda grass (which hasnt ventured out of
the side yard yet). It does a strange thing, its stems grow upright so
it doesnt look like it does when unmowed.
