I do too! This particular weed that we have now is very soft...and looks like a type of grass, very soft and leafy. It just forms a carpet and it's overwhelming to pull, although very easy to pull up.

The sandburs were incredible. Hard to pull up and then half the time you got a handful of burs when you tried. Barbed little devils you had to pull from your fingers forcefully. But the pulling worked because there are hardly any left in our yard, we can walk in comfort barefooted and we are the only people in the neighborhood that can. We also fertilize using a stuff called Milorganite and the stickers seem to hate it. We have to be ever diligent though.

Steve has pulled the soft weeds all around the perimeter of our yard and the bermuda forms so thick a mat that they don't come back as easily and the bermuda is dark green. The weeds are light green and easy to spot.
