Maybe you can start to appreciate the Bermuda in the pasture.
In the garden, lay down cardboard if you can get it. It will help to smother out the weeds and Bermuda. But Bermuda will travel to a hole in the cardboard and come up. But at least it will be subdued a little. LOL

I dont have a problem with Bermuda. Im actively trying to get it established here. Im saying it is hated by other people. Im loving it for all the reasons other people seem to hate it

"more invasive than Attila the Hun" gave me an out loud chuckle!!

i'm sad for native environments that keep getting disrupted by people who think they must have these plants. sorry, i can't think that is a good thing for the world or diversity in the long term if everyone goes out and destroys their native environments.

if you want to see the results of such actions on a larger scale look at what California has to go through because the grass species they used to have did not encourage wild fires to the extent that the grasses that have been brought in the past 100+ years for cattle grazing that have largely replaced the natives.

They planted Bermuda grass for the lawns when they added a few houses to the townsite where Mom lives in the 70s. It mostly just invades planting beds. Gets maybe 6 inches tall at max. Mom found if you don't water it, it will die. They don't get enough rainfall for it to survive.

I don't know what all we have here grass wise. Several species that are native, plus the invasive reed canary grass. The invasive likes the water. It was planted for use as cattle feed. Cattle prefer other grasses but will eat it. Constant mowing does kill it back. None in the lawn area. Only where water ponds and I can't mow as much and out in the marsh
