If I hope to get ahead of the bermuda grass in my garden paths, I guess I better start in January. I just wish the folks who thought bermuda grass was a good idea had checked into that common name of "Devil Grass!"
My plan of attack is to cover the dormant grass in leaves, top with thick cardboard and more leaves. When the spring rains wet it all down I hope it will rot out the bermuda grass. This is the only non-chemical way I've found to overcome it. I got the idea from noticing that a thick layer of oak leaves that have matted down over the lawn and left patches of bermuda-free zone (for a while, at least).
I'll let you know what happens. Thanks for stopping by!

26*, feels like 14*, 81% humidity, SSW 14 mph wind, cloudy
I went to waldeath today to pick up some rabbit bedding and found that they now have extra large African violet pots. Which was perfect timing as my big purple one needed a larger pot. Here it is now happily transplanted in the kitchen window with some friends. I am really appreciative of these bloomers this year.
I got around finally
