Bermuda Grass - read review for best tips
Simply put. It works. Have Bermuda grass? Bermuda grass is horrible and extremely hard to get rid of for good. Want to increase your chances of eradicating Bermuda grass?
Best way to get rid of this stuff permanently is to use a hard metal teeth rake first. Rake the heck out of the area where Bermuda grass is. Hit down to the dirt with the teeth of the rake. You will see all the Bermuda grass pulling up vertical exposing the dirt and deep vines. Do this for the whole area and also do 3-4 feet around the area ya think it stops. Most likely you will still be pulling up vines. When ya finally get to where there is no more. Rake up all the loose stuff and throw in a trash can. All the remaining Bermuda grass that is standing above ground spray it all down very good. I used 2 ounces per gallon and a surfactant (a must so it makes the poison stick to the vines/leaves).
Bermuda grass roots can go as 6 feet down in the ground. Average is about 6-8 inches. So its very hard to get to the roots, which is why you have to kill this stuff with poison through absorption of the leaves. The vines can travel just under the surface dirt for 6-12 feet no problem. I was pulling vines up that were 8 foot long into areas I didn't think I had Bermuda grass. This is how this stuff spreads so quickly.
Soaked the whole area and was able to get to the vines and leaves closest to the ground now that it was pulled up off the ground. This stuff is so thick and tight nit at ground level its hard to reach it with a spray if you don’t do what I said above. Plus this increase your chances of eradication.
Once it all turns brown. Pull it all up. Trash it. Spray the area again. Wait a few weeks. Till and plant grass seed.
Works perfect. If you find this review helpful please click helpful below. Thanks
