HELP! How do I kill Tiff Bermuda permanently?
I had it eradicated a while back, but now it's an uphill battle. I got rid of all my beautiful lawn because there was just no killing off and I no longer had the time to constantly deal with this. I then put down heavy plastic cover and covered it all in rock, but in the last year or two it has now invaded my raised planter bed. Carefully pulling it, spraying it with a Roundup that is suppose to kill it just doesn't cut it and does no good as we all well know. It has now invaded all my Irises and is impossible to pull or remove, and I am forced to dig them out and get rid of them. What's worse is that it is rooting thru the top of the heavy duty plastic and rooting thru it to get to the ground.
A while back a professional grounds keeper at a local golf course told me the only real thing that will kill it is to spray it with gasoline (yes....., highly toxic, contaminates ground water, illegal as all hell I assume) and then light it on fire. If not for the fact that it is growing so close to my home and I live in a high fire danger area outside of city limits I would be tempted. Most surefire herbicides that used to kill it are now off the market. Any other ideas out there?
