I found Bermuda to be much easier to control and maintain than St.
Augustine. Bermuda looks a hell of a lot better, stands up to wear better,
needs less water (eco-friendly) and is less invasive. My experience only.

Considering the roots of bermuda can go deeper than 18 inches, I would
agree
with his comment (J.Howard Garrett). However, it's a great turfgrass, so
people
will continue to choose it and us who strongly oppose its use will always
be
digging it out.

Once you have Bermuda, you might find if difficult to impossible to
ever get rid of it. I have pulled and pulled, froze, not watered in
the summer, etc. etc., it still comes back. It has pretty much wiped
out my Buffalo, even though I don't water the area and it gets baked
in the summer.

I believe in one of Howard Garrett's books he calls Bermuda one of the
most invasive weeds in the world. I believe it.

Unwanted Bermuda Grass in a Blue Grass or Fescue lawn.


Anyone know of a reasonable way to rid my lawn of a large patch of
Bermuda Grass without also killing the blue grass and fescue growing
around and within it???

I thought the unusually cold winter we had this year might wipe out the
Bermuda. No such luck.
