I understand what you said now. ...Thanks Jennifer.<br /><br />I understand what you said now. I re-read it. I guess you left it on 1 day...2 days? Other than tearing it out the way you did, there's probably not too much that works that quickly.<br /><br />Still a good tip worth knowing if time allows.<br /><br />Thanks again.Stevehttp://www.the-landscape-design-site.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-13893241692837504212010-09-28T14:38:29.401-04:002010-09-28T14:38:29.401-04:00Steve,

As aggressive as our Bermuda grass is and how deep the roots go around here, I'm curious if it would work for that and other aggressive plants.<br /><br />Along the same line, we have used black plastic which gets really hot and cooks everything including seeds and roots pretty deep. I'm not sure it works as quickly though.<br /><br />Thanks for the tip.Stevehttp://www.the-landscape-design-site.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-7142764309872344612010-09-27T19:56:51.542-04:002010-09-27T19:56:51.542-04:00Did you grunt and growl while you were ripping thr...Did you grunt and growl while you were ripping through the grass?

Sod is really easy to transplant if you need to.<br /><br />Also, if you have or can borrow a tiller you can till up the ground where you want the garden to be, wait a couple of days for the grass to die and then pick out the clumps.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16666910475457302786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-824341759094898092010-09-27T09:55:20.131-04:002010-09-27T09:55:20.131-04:00moving sod is AWFUL....we had to move a huge secti...moving sod is AWFUL....we had to move a huge section when we rebuilt our deck...seriously...hardest work ever...especially since we were moving pieces to relay in another part of the lawn...I don't really want to do that again...next time...we kill it and buy more for the other areas:)Mama Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01019490130710845439noreply@blogger.com
