Word of advice.... - July 16th, 2003 at 07:32 PM
I was doing errands today and i stopped by a shop that makes countertops for kitchens and bath (i had to pick some up). The fellow that owns the shop lives next door. I was very impressed with his perennial flower garden. I saw a plant that i didn't know the name of and i had to ask him what it was. Anyway, i complimented him on his flowers, but he kind of shrugged, and said that this might be his last year growing perennials. I asked him why. He said the wire grass (bermuda) has taken it over. I took a closer look.... sure enough! The grass was growing heavily amongst his flowers. He said u can't get rid of it without plowing it all up! That spells death for most of his flowers. What a shame.
It is true, bermuda grass is a curse, Don't allow it to get in your garden! Do what ever it takes to keep it out! I've layed down that black landscaper's fiber that's supposed to keep weeds out, and bermuda will grow right thru it!. I finally killed it all after 2 doses of round-up!
