Bermuda Grass Removal: A method I have used is with a garden fork (approx $20.00) Bermuda is so invasive it will probably grow on mars,roto-tilling it just seems to piss it off. It can be removed with effort keeping in mind that "as it is above it is below" and you work methodically digging it out tuft by tenacious tuft. You may reclaim your turf if you remove the entire rhizome mass, you may be faced with skirmishes by those tufts we are all bound to miss for some time. This is a good season for this task as the earth is soft for digging and mulching afterwards will stimulate microbial action in the soil to enhance fertility.
