Hi Dave!

Bermuda grass is a stinker.  I have never really conquered it but have 
battled it to a standstill by a combination of:

1. Staking out black plastic on the area during the hot summer.  Here in 
Sacramento this damn near sterilizes the soil.

2. Spraying a pre emergent in mid winter to kill the seeds.  (As I set 
out plants started elsewhere this does not hurt them.)

3. Mulching madly around the bed to keep weeds down.

4. Watching the area like a hawk and ripping/digging out any crabgrass 
that dares to poke its hear above the soil.

My energy levels are such that I can only do this in a small area, but 
its enough to keep that area weed free.

Peace, love and peppers

Lorraine
