    I know landscape fabric sounds good in theory, but in practice it seems problematic. The deterioration and ripping of landscape fabric - as you found out - seems to be inevitable in all landscapes. One possible solution to prevent bermuda from creeping into landscape beds is to insert a physical barrier between the lawn and bed. I have heard about this but haven't seen it commercially sold, but it would be something like a 6" deep, thin "wall" that prevents rhizome spread underground (the above-ground edging would prevent stolon expansion). I think a DIY barrier out of wood, plastic, or treated metal could work, but I just haven't figured out how to go about this.

    I always use a commercial grade landscape fabric. The stuff I use comes in a 100 ft x 36in roll. If you are going to put stone down, this is my go to fabric. If you are landscaping a flat area with mulch, then use this fabric. If it is a raised bed with mulch, I never use the fabric, because the mulch will just slide down. I use alot of stone in my beds because we have alot of cottonwood and maple trees that dump seedlings into the mulch. Good job!

    • @TheALG

      Depends on the application rate. Applying half dose will allow me to only cut every 4 or 5 days. Applying full does maybe every 8 days. If you are starting out, I would do only 1/4 dose to see how your grass does then step it up.

    I bought SedgeHammer to deal with a small nutsedge outbreak in my yard. Unfortunately, when using the granules you need to mix up a large batch at a time (at least 1/3 gallon or more), which is way too much for my yard. I should have gone with that smaller spray bottle of Ortho Nutsedge killer instead.

    I imagine you have to keep the backpack sprayer tank pressurized so you need to hold the blower and pull the trigger with one hand, squeeze the trigger to release the fluid into the nozzle with the other hand, and then periodically stop and pump. Is that right? Didn't really show that in the video.
