Dude this is awesome. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteAnyone have any thoughts on getting rid of Bermuda grass, with out pesticides??
ReplyDeleteIf you figure it out, tell us...one of the more challenging weeds. Solarizing with black plastic or sheet mulching with cardboard and mulch can knock it back but it's a tough one. I know one guy that hand weeds it over and over again with success, but I don't have the patience.
DeleteSolarization with clear 4mil plastic works very well. Takes 4-6 weeks during the hottest time of the year. Check out the UC IPM web site for more details.
