Bermuda/Nutgrass in Veggie Garden
Try 10% vinegar, it should kill them and not poison the soil!

Marcesent, there's not but one way to not be bothered with Nutgrass. You
have
to move. You can poision it, but it will come right back.

OK, I know we just went through a nutgrass discussion, but my request is
a
little more specific. I tilled up my garden this year (30' x30') and
have
planted it, etc. But as you can imagine, despite my putting up barriers
of
weed paper and borders the bermuda and nutgrass is growing in under the
fence, etc. Plus the little bits that remained after removing the sod
and
retilling have grown into new tendrils in the garden, in the rows.
After
hoeing every night for two weeks I realize I am fighting a losing
battle.
But I am averse to spraying herbicide in the vegetable garden as I've
heard
it can be very persistent - and I'm growing in the dirt that's there,
not
raised beds. Any suggestions????
