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.

I'm working the opposite problem. Trying to get the fescue and St. Augustine
crabgrasses out of my Bermuda!

Heh, heh, heh. . . . .
Well, either way they are just not compatible and don't make for a decent
looking lawn. In our climate here, the bermuda turns a trashy brown color
in November and does not get green again until June whereas the blue grass
and fescue stay green year 'round.
Now I know why it is illegal to sell or import bermuda into the state of
Maryland.

I suspect the only solution for me is simply dig out ALL bits of the bermuda
that I can, put in a heavy seeding of Fescue and try to get a good stand of
it, then just hand weed out the bermuda as I see it cropping up. I don't
look
forward to that. It's about a 10 ft square patch of bermuda and I'm not
too
keen on "hands&knees" gardening anymore....

How big of a patch? Can you not just dig up the patch and put down sod?

Well, tell you what - I live in this climate and have Bermuda front and
back. It has been green since the first week in March & has been mowed
twice.

I happen to like Bermuda, even if the folks in Maryland don't - I don't
think they are all that smart to be living in that climate anyway.

So, different strokes etc.

It IS a Texas newsgroup, and I have the same problem with Bermuda that
he does! I thought it was supposed to be a grass that did not need a lot
of water. I was wrong. :-P

I'm just not getting good, even coverage with bermuda. The soil is
plenty fertile, I used to let chickens and ducks run loose back there
for a few years, and have since re-fertilized with liquid fertilizers,
but the coverage still sux.
