Comments on: About the ESP and my Camera… http://www.eastsidepatch.com Take a walk on the East Side Fri, 30 Jul 2010 02:10:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: ESP http://www.eastsidepatch.com/about-2/comment-page-1/#comment-959 ESP Mon, 08 Mar 2010 17:14:33 +0000 http://www.eastsidepatch.com/?page_id=501#comment-959 Hi nola, and welcome to the ESP. The Bermuda grass is a nasty and stubborn creature to beat into submission, I fought with it for a number of years. The best thing I have found, but it is not an easy fix, is to dig down a foot or so, then put weed barrier down then bring in new soil/granite. I have also dug down then applied a thick layer of bark chips for areas that I knew I was not going to plant in. These areas stayed like this for a couple of years, the bark did a good job of smothering out the Bermuda. I raked back the barks then applied decomposed granite when I was ready to form my pathways. So far I have had no Bermuda popping up at all! Clover yes! If I do see a patch at this point, (mostly in my front garden), I now go in there and paint on some super concentrated round up onto the foliage to ensure I kill the root structure. Oh yes no dilution and no mercy from me! Hope this helps, and good luck in your quest. ESP. Hi nola, and welcome to the ESP.

Your ESP is beautiful; I love the back gardens! How in the world did you get rid of all the Bermuda grass? I am trying to banish it from my world, but making little progress.
