Pulling bufflegrass in moist soil

This video is about how you can avoid herbicides, and instead easily hand pull invasive bufflegrass when the soil is moist in the Sonoran Desert.
NOTE 1: If the grass is too big to hand pull or the soil is too dry and hard to hand pull, you can dig out the root ball with a shovel.
NOTE 2: After removing invasive weeds, you could seed the area with beneficial native plants. A great source for such seed in Tucson is Wildlands Restoration. They sell their seed at Native Seeds/SEARCH, Spadefoot Nursery, and other locally-owned outlets.
NOTE 3: We want to leave beneficial native grasses, and let them grow. Thus correctly identifying the plants is essential. So...

Great seeing you again.

Oh, yeah! This is what I do with Quackgrass here in the PNW.

Can you please let us know how to take Bermuda grass out?

[@gm2407]

Are you not tempted to compost it, or turn it into mulch?

[@AllSectorsHearThis]

Could it be crimped and covered with a lasagna bed?

What about cutting super low and leaving roots for worms, or, does it grow back?
Any animals eat it? Send to Arizona worm farm instead of garbage dump?

A Mountain is covered with it.
A major fire hazard going foward.
