I have some kind of grass, maybe something they use in florida? It's
dead brown in the winter, and in the summer it invades everything. It's
in a few places in the lawn but taking over fast. Hardest to control in
the gardens. How to I get rid of this stuff? (wispering, I did try a
grass weed killer but it did nothing.) Pics at

popped in there but I left it to share.

Looks like bermudagrass. Easiest way to get rid of it is to move.

Or you can nuke it from orbit. (it's the only way to be sure)
HTH :-)

Agreed. I'm in middle TN and I find digging out bermuda grass
therapeutic if I'm in a really bad mood and feeling deadly. Doesn't
hurt the grass - nothing hurts the grass.

You can have a garden with it though. Mulching heavily makes it easier
to pull it out of the beds (again and again and again....)
