Will this work for Bermuda grass?

It should. The chemical only acts on seeds that haven't sprouted yet, so whatever is already growing is not affected.

Phil, I don't think normal grasses like blue grasses or broad bladed grasses have rhizomes. This stuff won't kill that type of grass. It kills bermuda grass which has rhizomes. Nothing else we tried will kill bermuda grass.

It should, that's why I am using it instead of grass. (No mowing yay!) It will be a little delicate when it first starts to grow, but once it gets going it should be fine. Here is a link with more info for uses: http://www.stepables.com/5/Sagina_subulata_Irish_Moss.html

It works just fine. Follow directions. Will probably take more than one application. I spot sprayed on the Bermuda grass. Know that there is a possibility that your fescue grass may brown a bit but this will come out of it. Don't spray in the heat of the afternoon as this seems to cause browning of good grasses. Get the Bermuda grass wet and be patient, like was said earlier, will probably take more than one application. The label on bottle will tell you how often to repeat spray- BUT FOLLOW DIRECTIONS!

Probably so. You would have to spot test it. I do have some bermudagrass that has invaded some of my liriope borders. I was going to do a test to see if it would kill that or not. Overall product is working great after 2 applications. The woody part of the Bermuda grass is an off green color but the grass blades are all brown now.

I don't know if it will work for you. I know, however, that it didn't eliminate Bermuda in my juniper in SC. On the other hand, the juniper was not effected. I can't recommend this product based upon my experience.

I can only guess that it will. The shape is different than what I had too, but this stuff works great in heavy weeds. I use it in a walk behind trimmer and I have been well pleased.

I'm not 100% sure, but I would guess no, since zoysia and Bermuda are similar grasses. I'd be careful. To be sure contact the company.

I think it will. But I would do a small test plot ( maybe about 3'X3') to see what it will do in my situation. Be careful to follow the manufacturer's recommendations as closely as possible and let the grass grow at least a month before judging how it performs. This should be done during the growing season for both grasses.

Yes. I have used this to trim around my porch & shrubbery. I have Bermuda and centipede grass in my yard. Turn the blades to the sideways position for runners. It works great.

based on my experience with a different fescue you will probably see some yellowing for a period of time, my grass recovered. I found bermuda grass to be a tough opponent and ultimately resorted to multiple applications roundup that are continuing more that a year multiple applications of Ornamec....

Not sure on that grass, but it works great on fescu, Bermuda grass, not great for thick weeds, run time around 45 min, as edging around our place only takes 20.

yes. works well on winter grasses. do not use on st. augustine. That's what bonus s is for.

It depends on the intended purpose, but for controlling Bermuda grass in tall fescue, the instruction sheet says to apply 20-24 oz per acre. So a gallon would cover about 5 acres-- for one treatment. From my reading and limited experience, it takes more than one treatment to eliminate Bermuda grass. I bought a gallon of Ornamec to treat approximately 3/4 acre of fescue. I applied it to the entire area once, and to smaller areas subsequently. I plan to apply again this spring as the Bermuda grass breaks dormancy. Good luck.

I'd trust the label. I had bermuda grass in a flower garden. I sprayed liberally from 1" or 2" and no plants were harmed save the bermuda grass. I sprayed in the Fall to good effect; 90% of the Bermuda grass was gone come Spring.

Bermuda grass if not specified in the list that Tenacity is effective on! Works on just about everything but Bermuda Grass is NOT mentioned!

It will. I used similar weed barrier in just that fashion. However, I would recommend roto tilling the spot or spraying it first. Grass, especially Bermuda, is a real survivor and any advantage you can secure against it should be taken.
