How to kill patches of Bermuda Grass growing in my Fescue Grass w/out hurting my Fescue grass?

Answer 1

You can't really get bermuda out of fescue, besides pulling up the bermuda where you see it. Suggestion: Let the bermuda overtake the fescue. Bermuda does much better in full sun heat, and it chokes out weeds better than fescue. You'll have to overseed fescue every fall to get it thick again, you won't have to do this with bermuda. It's actually a better quality grass.

Answer 2

Depends on where you are, but since you even have bermuda growing, its probably going to get pretty hot there pretty soon. You can wait until the fescue dies back from the heat (since it's a cool weather grass and bermuda is a hot weather grass) and try to spray roundup on it. You will definately want to wait until there are absolutely NO signs of your fescue, and you want to wait until the bermuda is very actively growing to spray it. I'd say you have a 50/50 chance of killing it this way. Don't water it for several days after you spray it, and do it during a time that you are fairly confident it's not going to rain. The combination of the roundup and the lack of water might do the trick. Having said that, bermuda is VERY hard to kill and I wish you the best of luck!

Answer 3

just keep pulling. Bermuda grass is the worst grass to get rid of. It doesn't ever take the hint. My suggestion is that you start all over again. You can try round-up but it'll kill your other grass too.

Answer 4

bermuda grass has small balls that grow on the roots if you can get all the roots you'll have it or you can try some MSMA herbicide it kills so grasses and not others????

Answer 5

can not be done
