I forgot to mention....Any plant or grass that grows where you do not want it is a weed.
Bermuda, in good conditions, will spread to areas where you do not want it, as in flower beds.
It has a running root system and can spread rapidly.
I think that’s what I have here in Northern Virginia. Quite a mess, never fills in enough to be a real lawn, spreads everywhere, hard to kill.
Ditto that. I’ve had Bermuda actually push its way into the house between the wall and the foundation, and grow into the carpet. You actually have to go out around the exterior walls and pull the Bermuda runners out of the house.
When Bermuda grows like that, it is impossible to eradicate. Having a garden is very difficult; if you don’t keep pulling out the Bermuda, it will quickly crowd out the vegetables.
Where I live now, the Bermuda actually isn’t very hardy. Other grasses are alive; the Bermuda looks mostly dead. Because of drought conditions, we can only water once a week.
If you think Bermuda is bad, you should try fighting privet. You can throw gallons of Gly-4 on it, burn it, dig it up, mow it down, plow it under and it still comes back (usually with a vengeance).....
Exactly right. It has gotten into my herb garden and is a pain in the neck figuratively and literally to get rid of.
