Default Removing kikuyu grass lawn

"symplastless" wrote in message I wonder if the
grass fixes nitrogen like our clover? Clover stays green
and seems to tolerate our dry and hot August month.

I don't mind clover - but the kikuyu grass is like barbed wire growing into
the flower beds. Once they get out of control - they literally strangle the
roses and other plants to death.

I also have buffalo grass- very nice. slow and very much less invasive than
the kikyuyu.
