Rick, thanks for the suggestions. As I was reading several posts a few days ago, someone told about how they
handled their grass problem in their daylily bed. They said to flood the entire bed with lots and lots of water, wait
a little while and then the grass pulls up easily. We had a week or more of heavy rain and I thought I would try what
I had read about. To my surprise, the bermuda grass came out very easily by the hand fulls and long pieces, roots
and all. I can't tell you how happy I was and so surprised. I have thinned out the plants in the last couple of months
by giving entire clumps of plants (that I had multiples of) to three or four friends. The remaining clumps need dividing
but now there is room in the bed to do that.
Thanks to ATP friends for helping me with this problem. I need to tackle my iris bed now that new plants are forming.
I've been sharing them also with friends to thin out the bed which has been there for about six years.
