Eliminating Wire Grass (Bermuda) from Perennial Beds Without Digging Everything

Wire grass (common Bermuda) spreads via underground stolons and is tough to eradicate. Spot‑treat with glyphosate (Roundup) using a sponge applicator: wear gloves, pour herbicide into a small container, dab onto individual grass blades. Avoid contact with desirable plants. Repeat every 2–3 weeks until gone. Persistence wins.

Why This Works

• Targets only the invader.
• Minimizes soil disturbance.
• Less labor than total bed renovation.

Fall or spring applications are equally effective; just ensure grass is actively growing.
