On going struggle with weed removal in the backyard.

1 Weed killers, kinda slow, would take a week or more to see the effect
and than the same partial dead weed would grow back. Would need couple
more applications, lots of poison in the ground, and than the weeds would
come back in a few more months.

2 Weedwacker to remove weeds at the ground surface, grows right back
with a vengeance in a few weeks.

3 Dig out and remove the weeds and roots by hand, pretty nice for about
three months than new weed pops up again, less time if we have rain. Same
thing using a 6hp rotor tiller.

4 Try burning it, but seems like my touch is too small and flame too
weak to do any good.

5 Installed no weed fabric. That controls it but a small amount of
weeds growing above and below the fabric.

6 Pour concrete slab over much of the backyard, about 25 yards of
concrete!

I have another house to do, don't want to pour 25 yards again - too much
back breaking work and getting too old.





Don't see anything about any other grasses or foliage you want.

If you want bare soil, till it every 2 months...

Most grasses will crowd out most weeds if the area is properly mowed at an
approprate time. Some grasses selected may be inappropriate for the climate
or soil conditions. As a result, may not be able to compete with native
foliage (weeds). I'll take my guessing hat off now regarding your exact
situation.
