Well, I've killed enough time already this morning. It is time to get out there and weed-eat the garden. Yes, that is what I typed, weed-eat the garden.
We planted green beans in our garden where we always did, but the Bermuda Grass has taken over that garden. I knew it and planted the beans there anyway. It is almost impossible to eradicate Bermuda Grass from anywhere. The roots spread underground and come up any and everywhere. Break off a piece and drop it and by willikers it will take root and grow. I guess if a person were vigilant enough, if they LAID in the garden rows and pulled every single leaf of Bermuda Grass that came up, and did that EVERY day, they might, and I mean MIGHT keep it under control, but the roots would still be there, waiting for that day you miss, and POOOOOOF! it would be growing full blast again.
The only way I know we could get rid of Bermuda Grass is to spray it with a powerful weed/grass killer, and spray many feet around the garden, and keep it sprayed around the garden so it wouldn't creep back into the garden. I don't know if that is even feasible.
In the meantime, I need to go out and weed-eat all the Bermuda Grass out from between the rows of green beans, and leave it in the rows, because I know if I try to pull the Bermuda Grass up from around the beans, the roots are so entangled with the bean's roots that it would pull up the beans.
Okay, more later on how that works!
